Here's why our cars are rusty piles.

You southern boys don't know how good you have it. I took this while I was driving today.

See all that white stuff on the road and that white fog in the air? That's not snow, that's all salt! That road is an asphalt highway that was just paved in September. The snow doesn't bother meat all, but this does!

I am shocked the environmentalists haven't got after the road salt thing.

Salts a natural, it doesn’t pollute. You need salt in your daily diet, just not on your car!

In some areas they have.

Some areas use brine that dries on and doesn't fly up like powdered salt, and others use a mix that's somewhat like molasses and sticks like heck to both road and cars. Sill others have mandated "reduced/low salt" areas near watershed regions.

Really it's state by state.

In CT salt and liquid magnesium chloride.

Hey, you do know what pagrunt does for work now. He puts that liquid brine all over the roads! He might be a traitor!

I live near philadelphia and same thing, the roads are covered with salt. The streets are white and there are piles of salt everywhere! We got like a half inch of snow over the weekend and the township probably blew through there snow budget for the year. Now the bastards will probably want to raise our taxes!

I just spread a 50/50 mix of salt & anti-skid in Strongstown/Heilwood/Rexis. The guys in the shed by you in Clyde dump 100% salt on 22 so the trucks can make it over Penn View. Now it's the Indiana Barn that does the brine & 100% salt on the 422 expressway.

No.... We do know. That crap is one of the reasons we live/like it in the South. If I want to experience a winter wonderland, I'll visit it. In a rental.

I really despise the salt on Michigan roads and usually have to wash the daily driver 3 times a week. Living in West Michigan makes it worse due to all the lake effect snowfall. The State Senate has passed a bill to investigate using beet juice or Geomelt to help reduce the use of salt. I welcome it....Salt is natural but it clearly has negative effects on the environment and obviously rots out our cars.
