Very Cool !

I am putting a shortcut to this blog on my desktop, and will be checking daily....

I would drive my A year-round if it weren't for PennDOT's "Car-B-Gone" road treatments...

Hopefully something you guys never see, down in Georgia: salt-based road-treatments.

We still have the traditional pellet stuff ( rock salt / calcium chloride), plus a new "brine solution" they spray down as a pre-treatment before a storm... that stuff gets past suspension seals in modern cars, and into crevises never reached by traditional salt...

Tears-up a vehicle before you can say "cash for klunkers"...

Cold weather and snow don't bother me or my Ford, but salt is a deal-breaker...

Cool! Thanks for the heads-up no the 365 Days of A. I'll be following that. It's especially interesting for me, being a '30 Tudor owner.

We have salt over here. Not good. I had to use my Fordor last winter - only thing I had on the road except the Enfield. I'll be following the exploits for sure, thanks for the link.

That's going to be one heck of a journey. It'll be one of the few blogs I follow.

We have the same problem here in Ohio with the brine solution on the roadways. It destroys more than salt.

30 Deuce, do you have any more pics of your Tudor on Deuce rails? That thing looks marvelous!
