people who use the term “Rusty but trusty” should be stabbed with a rusty trim piece from their car. That is all.

I guess they shouldn’t trust YOU with rusty.

Winnie the Pooh once bought an AW11 off Craigslist that had a few rust holes in it. Yes, it’s true - he was a wedged bear in a great tetanus.

Some of the Subaru listings say “Rusty but Justy”

That’s because the rust heaps in Maine are anything but trusty.

That exact phrase was used in the CL ad for my truck!

I think it’s only appropriate if the rust is merely a cosmetic concern. If it’s just surface rust, or if it’s gnawing away at the edge of a wheel well, it could still qualify as “trusty”. But it doesn’t count if a critical component like a control arm or a subframe is rusting out.

Better in all caps. Didn’t realize these were the years GM was experimenting with Altinetors.

Better than "musty and crusty"

But it rhymes, it must be true.

Right?
