Re: [T3] Any Colorado listees????

I'm currently in Denver, there's a few T-3s running around here.  The
salt situation varies within the state, a lot of places just use fine
gravel or coarse sand in the winter.  Helps with the rust situation,
but not with the paint or glass.  The front ends get sand blasted and
the windshields get pitted and cracked, particularly from all the
moose wagons running around and throwing up the gravel.  Went to see
about a Dodge van up in Evergreen, was strictly a rust bucket, a strip
about 6" wide at the bootom all the was round was rusted through, was
only about 8 years old, too.  So if it's up in the foothills, forget
it.
