More salt on the road, than snow. . . . . . . .

Razorback_Fan · 12-01-2002, 07:52 PM

Glad we don't get much of that stuff down here

Its a Communist plot by the auto companies to sell more cars and trucks. What we need is more Global Warming so we won't have to use it.

makes me glad my truck isnt much of a winter warrior dont have to get it out on the ice much. I did have to drive down a road with pool of tar everywhere. You could just hear it sticking to everything. It looked like it had rain freakin oil! I still havent goten all that crap off my old wheels.

For what we get of snow down here they use sand to help the traction. Not near as bad as the salt on our vehicles.

*racedvl* · 12-02-2002, 10:52 AM

Well, I look out the window, and it's snowing again, sooo... more salt!!! Horay!!!

fanman · 12-02-2002, 03:43 PM

I like driving in the winter. Having no weight over the two drive wheels makes for some fun times. The worst part is the salt. My truck was built in Flint, MI. So I'm pretty sure it's been in MI all it's life, and seen all of the winters between 83 and now.

PHOENIX · 12-02-2002, 03:48 PM

No salt here, except on our fries! So unless someone decides to throw their fries at you, you should not have any problems with salt.

Hooter · 12-02-2002, 07:48 PM

Lost too many vehicles to the damn road salt around here. I wish they wouldnt use that crap. Well they wouldnt have to, if people would slow down and learn how to drive in the winter. Then my insurance would be cheaper too

c10scotty · 12-02-2002, 10:52 PM

they just use a lot of sand here, thank god. doesnt work as well as the salt but ill take icy roads over rusted vehicles any day

**old Rusty C10** · 12-03-2002, 08:12 PM

Hooter · 12-05-2002, 03:45 AM

You wanna see salt damage see my 77 silverado. Im gonna have to take pics of it

Slonaker · 12-05-2002, 10:37 AM

The only way they get like that here is if you drive them up and down the beach! Actually, the car companies pay people to drive new models up and down the beach all day long. I guess they are trying to make them rust faster to see how to improve them.

I want a job like that!!!!

Hooter · 12-06-2002, 12:25 AM

Sign me up for that job!!!!

Slonaker · 12-06-2002, 10:15 AM

I think it pays minimum wage, which is about $5.50/hour. You just drive up and down the beach all day long at about 15 mph. The stretch of beach they drive on is usually almost completely empty. The only thing I ever see when I am out there are other people fishing in the surf and the occasional old naked hippie!

Eeewww!

All of my "good" vehicles hibernate for the winter. People always ride me hard when they find out I won't drive any of my K20s in bad weather...lol

How is this one for 30 years of Cincinnati salt? I see at least three paint jobs on it and 2 generations of bondo. By the way, anyone interetested in this Jimmy for parts?
