Heh - yeah - we use pure salt. Two days after a snow storm, you can go
out to the road and chisle some of the ground up and put it in your
dinner table salt shakers.
Hell with just the little bit of snow we got here now, maybe two - three
inches at absolute most... the Ram looked like it had been dunked in
powedered sugar, it was so white from salt.
Someone mentioned that they wash their truck in the winter... good
idea.. but I think the money I would save on so many frequent no-touch
car washes at the local gas station... would pay for a beater. Guy at
work just bought an older Toyota Celica, stick shift, black, high miles
- but in wonderful shape otherwise.. for $700!! EVERYONE seemes to be
able to get great deals on cars and trucks except me. If I had a dime
for every time I heard about someone getting a great deal on a car ...
that maybe needed a little fixup work.. I could buy a damned brand new
truck!
