Nah. I added the wheels and I like them as is. Maybe later. Wheels are much much easier to dip

Isn't that an awful sight, I was gonna say white misery, but some of that looks like salt and sand. Even worse.

We drove about 50 miles north to take the dog for her monthly spa session and it was snowing the entire way and about 25 degrees

They had heavily dirted the roads so driving wasn't too bad and I was surprised the car wasn't dirtier

They only use enough salt, mixed in with the enormous mounds of dirt, to keep the dirt from freezing so it will feed through the sanding trucks

They dump a load of salt in the middle of a huge mound of dirt and mix it and mix it

We honestly don't have the horrific rust problems they do in the northern states

I actually got my monthly touchless tunnel wash pass turned back on over the weekend and the wash I selected has an "under blaster" that is just as important to me as the topside wash

That's interesting, it seems to me they used to use sand here sometimes, but I haven't seen that for a while, but I think the "road grade" salt is just very dirty. The amount of salt they use here is ungodly, I think it's way more than they used to use locally. I know a few years ago, the two toll roads we have here (Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike), which are now under the same authority, used over 100,000 tons of salt, I can't even imagine what the statewide use was, a million tons?
