When I was in high school, driving my Bondo'd up 73 Square, one of the teachers drove a 68 Square with Oregon plates on it... it was his WINTER car! I wanted to strangle him.... that car was all faded and scratched up but not a single spot of rust on it! I was so impressed that even the wheel wells were nicely painted and rust-free. I dont know what ever happened to it, but the worst part of the whole this is that he was using it to save his MGB from the salt. :-( Keith > As to the salt, we probably have the tree huggers for keeping that away. > Personally, I'm all for keeping salt off every single US road.
