I have one small spot of rust on the box behind the left rear wheel ahead of the bumper and about the size of a quarter.

We were following an older F150 tonight that was so rusty that the sides of the box were flopping around. I told Patty to be ready to hit the brakes, something is going to fall off of it. Something did but slid into the other lane.
