[T3] Salt in Seattle?

Ya know, it was a  bit wet when we went back thru there after the 06
Invasion and sure enough, little lumps and bubbles that hadn't changed in
the previous 10 years had gotten alot worse in the following 6 months, so
yea, driving thru there has its problems indeed!  I found salt still in
places when I took that car apart too... perhaps from that run or perhaps
from when it was last driving in the winter in 1992, surprises that had to
be cut out and fixed!

So... I shouldn't drive my type 3 on the salt flats coming back from
the Invasion?
