The wall of a Morton Salt storage building on the north side of Chicago collapsed, which buried several cars at the Acura dealer next door in a huge mound of salt.

Nice article there sun times. 
The salt wouldn't be so bad. The brick, on the other hand...
Meh, they were likely unable to sell them anyway because of the stop-sells with the safety recalls.
Huh. That building is somewhat of a landmark.
Do they still put that gigantic gaudy chrome band across the front and rear of the Acuras? I remember when the original Integra and Legend were quite popular. I think they're still decent cars, but the styling surely isn't helping them sell.
Thankfully Acura only sells forgettable appliances at this point so I doubt anyone cares.
1988Red: Yes, they're only getting uglier.
Acura dude said most of them were customer service cars. 8-11 cars in all.
When it rains, it pours.
I'm shocked that a 6" thick brick wall couldn't hold up to that much salt pushing against it.. just absolutely shocked..

Meh, no worse that what they'd encounter over their first winter.
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
I knew Takata airbags were dangerous, but Jesus!
That bill is going to be salty.
Salt damage in Chicago...
I expected this:
it's a good thing nobody got hurt.. Morton could have been charged with a salt
In reply to JohnRW1621:
Give them a couple more years and they'll all look just like that one. 
Honestly though, I'm shocked at how well our '09 Fit is doing. There's not a bit of rust yet, and we're going on 6-years of daily use, 150,000 miles, never garaged, and probably hasn't been washed in 2 or 3 years. My '07 Accent is surprisingly un-rusty too, and it's been treated way worse than the Fit. It seems like at least some manufacturers are finally figuring out how to prevent/delay corrosion.
