CAR CANCER, RUST
#4
That's nothing to worry about.
I believe your exhaust system is a mild stainless steel and will oxidize but will not rot out in time. Your driveshaft is steel and will also have surface rust on it just because of the exposure to the elements.
The big area for rust trouble is the body/chassis. If you drive your car in the snow make sure you get it undercoated and have a good oil in all the doors. The worst areas for rust are where there is overlapped sheetmetal where moisture can build up.

I think you have a while before you have to worry about body rust, especially with the temps you guys have. Anyway, if you every did have body rust you have to remove all signs of it. Normally at least 1" of material beyond the rust area. Surface rust can be removed with a wirewheel or use products specifically designed for this purpose. If you get a rust hole, take it to a body shop
