my dad works for the state and works with the guys who plow the roads and he said to me today that they will not be useing sand anymore. the want to save money so the only thing that will be geting used is salt. thats going to be alot of rusty cars if people dont clean them.

 

Damn man that sucks. Makes me glad when I'm at school, I only drive about 5 miles once a week, and we still use dirt.

 

they use salt here and it sucks stays on the roads forever

 

Yup nothing like good old salty roads! Same in Maryland.

 

They use salt here too. Not to mention they are like gun ho about it. Even the slightest snow = alot of salt. Thats why the cobalt ss/sc is going into storage soon. Need to get a cheap 4x4 blazer or something.

 

i work for the highway department in RI and not sure were they get there stuff from, but using straight salt is way more expensive than a sand mix. Maybe they are using straight salt for another reason. but anyway it does do a number on the cars time for a winter beater.

 

yea i thought the same to that the salt would be more. lucky its been still about 50 here and last year at this time we had snow on the ground. the roads are going to be white all winter after the first snow lol

 

meh all i can say is thank god i work at a dealership where i can get my car cleaned whenever i want and hopefully i wont have this one for too long....*dreams of g5 gxp or camaro*

 

off topic but g5 gxp??????????

anywho salt is EVERYWHERE in michigan after the first snow fall

you see 5, 6 year old cars rusted out. ****** sux

 

Word.

I don't know where in PA you are, but in my area, they not only completely cover the roads with salt, but they dump half the truck in the middle of every intersection!! Then they wonder why they're out of salt by the end of December...

Winter= teh suck

 

Great! I hate the winter as it is now CT goes and adds salt to the wound, pun freaking intended.

 

Yea there is no need for salt or sand where i live cause if it snows (rarley and not much) every one ends up piling up all over. Fender bender city, people freak when they see white comming down.

Thank god im putting my car away starting Dec. 1

 

in NH salt is everywhere & with a black car you cant hide from it. but this year my car is being stored, actually put it away this past weekend in my garage since me and my girl go to the same school in MD we will just use her cavy to beat around. but i love winter either way.

 

yea its going to suck driveing the cobalts in them. im glade i can park mine. i told my dad that everyones going to try to buy a saturn bc there made of plastic and cant rust haha.

 

Great just another thing to look forward too. BTW anyone have a shitty car they want to donate to me for the winter so i dont got to drive mine?
