Oh Yes! If you put a car with a load of salt/shush into a heated garage, you warm the mixture of water and salt. Rust (oxydation) is a chemical reaction in which the steel loses electrons through a medium. Salt water is an excellent medium for this. Any increase in temperature speeds the chemical reaction. Granted, modern cars have superior rust protection compared to 30 years ago, but I witnessed the destruction of a brand-new Pontiac in this fashion. Advice: leave a salt encrusted/exposed vehicle outside in the cold until you can remove the material.
