Josh, 
        Noah dealt with this problem and he....... :)

No, but seriously folks, this is not a problem.  The rotors rust because you
have bare metal exposed.  The brake pads will take car of this problem over
time without any problem, esp. if you are going to park it only through
spring or so.  I've done this without any problem, although I am in
Oklahoma.  About 35 inches a year rainfall here.
