Oklahoma USED to be a salt-free environment, but not any more! The OKC area, and the city specifically, used to sand or use a sand/salt mixture until this year. Now, instead of sanding with sand available locally, they now import salt from Kansas (and spend more money doing so!) and use salt on the roads, particularly intersections. Their reasoning is that sand "lingers", causing dust and potentially dangerous braking situations at dry intersections. Thank God we don't have the truly crappy weather (and resulting crappy roads, although ours do suck to some extent!) you "Nawthrners" have! My guess is the politicians are having one hell of a time legislating us out of our cars, so they'll just destroy them for us, instead!
:mad:
Heck, it's even motorcycle-riding weather here about 11 months out of the year! :p Might have to put the top down on the BMW ragtop Monday, if the WX is as forecast (clear and 65 degrees!).
BTW, my new '72 C-10 drives great, too!
