I have a question... why is it that only salt (and phenomenally huge quantities of it) is used on the roads around here. Where I'm from, salt is a small percentage of the mixture they put down on the road - it's mostly sand - and it seems to work just fine.
I'm sorry, but I find it rediculous that my black car, after a snowfall totalling ~1" which melted before I was done with my morning coffee, should be completely white with salt after driving less than two miles.
It's not even nice little salt - it's big friggin rock salt that I'm sure leaves cute salty scratches that will, before long, become rust.
Am I alone on this???
