crawled under Winterat to replace the rear muffler and was shocked at

expected to see things rusting pretty fast under there but this
year,<BR>anything that didn't have oil on it was vastly more<BR><BR>Rusty that
any previous year and this past winter was a pretty short one!<BR>Brakes,
exhaust, rims. all rusting up faster than ever before!<BR><BR>I know
they have been using magnesium chloride on the state roads for a<BR>while, and
even Beet juice, YES Beet juice! But this year they
started<BR><BR>Brining, with special brining trucks, on all the interstates
and some of the<BR>county roads.. But what is IN that brine? What
happens when you MIX the<BR>Magnesium with Salt? Do we have any chemists
here? My poor little Golf!<BR>Whatever they are doing its causing the
rust to speed way up..<BR><BR>NASTY NASTY stuff in those brine trucks, but
what is it?<BR><BR><BR><BR>I think Ill keep the Golf on the road thru a couple
more good rains, don't<BR>want to be driving Hothe thru any puddles for a
while yet till I know its<BR>all washed off. I haven't seen them washing
down the bridges yet or any of<BR>the Zambonies run thru the
neighborhood..</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

got get in and do some repair work on my Geo Prizm, as the plastic bumper cover
is trying to fall off. I've already had to replace a section of rear frame rail
on it, just to hold the muffler up and in place. It's beginning to look like I
need a winter car, for the winter car with the way it's rusting
out.</FONT></DIV>
