I was speking to someone a while ago about rust on my car and they asked me if I parked it in my yard. I do, but never heard of this. Is it true? Thank you.

Only if the grass is regularly watered - if the lawn is "maintained", it will be a source for moisture. If it is just left to the elements, it shouldn't make much difference (unless the area develops puddles after it rains, which is as much a possibility on the street as anywhere else).

Rust mostly comes from driving in the rain. What little moisture there is in a lawn is not enough to make your car rust faster. Think about that the next time you drive down a rain soaked street.

Yes, it does. There's a chemical reaction (I dated a corrosion engineer from GM with a master's degree in metallurgy, he explained it to me and I can't give you the scientific explanation, it's been too long ago). but yes, absolutely, if you don't want extra rust on your car, DO NOT park it on the grass. It's not just the dampness

No, but it will turn your grass brown.
If you take care of your car well, it will have a lot less rust. If you leave your car exposed to the elements, of course it will have rust on it, no matter where you park it.

THE GRASS COLLECT WATER AND YOUR CAR IS ONLY PART PLASTIC THE PARTS UNDER THE CAR ARE METAL AND THEY DO NOT LIKE WATER. SO IF YOU PARK YOUR CAR IN THE STREET YOU DON'T HAVE WATER STANDING AROUND IT ,ONLY WHEN IT RAINS.AND YOU DON'T LIVE ON THE COAST.
