<VV> winter driving, was: Corsa Dues Increase

I was a kid in the '50's, so I remember them. FYI they didn't spread salt back then nearly as heavily as they do today. Salt (as measured by the pound per mile) usage keeps going up every year. Today, they're out there laying it down thick even before the first snowflake hits the ground,

If you haven't lived here within the last 10 years, you are clueless.

spoiled rotten. I have no sympathy for you.

Hey, I grew up in Detroit, which is built over salt mines. What do you think cars looked like back in the '50's when they didn't even TRY to rustproof the cars at the factory?  Besides, quick rusting made for more car sales.
