I used to live in Windsor. where they mine windsor salt. I totally understand the salting of the roads. Unbelieveable. but if you oilgard your car, you should be fine. Like I said, ours is a 96, and was oilgarded until we got it. It is just starting to rust now.Leta said:That is part of the problem, here, is road salt. People here spend an insane percentage of their income on transportation. A house costs less than a truck, and you'll need a new truck every five years because of all the salt.
People who drive diesel VWs absolutely love them, which is why we are committed to that. That, and the fact that we consistently have the highest gas prices in the state, and the fact that I know how to brew biodiesel (we have a good grease source). Everything I've read has said that if you buy a TDI VW new, you'll be driving it in 15 years, which sounds brilliant. I just always thought new cars were a rip off.
But, really, this is all about gas mileage for me. Maybe I should buy a Tata Nano and have it shipped here!
