This shit should be illegal. It does nothing but eat cars. How is it even necessary now with traction control, ABS, AWD, etc? I gotta move to the desert..I'll take sun damage and cracked dashboards over salt damage any day.

never heard anyone from europe complain about salt.

Should be, but won't. It kills fish. But don't clear the roads as a mayor and your career is over. Re-election is more important than endangered species.
Austin Lewis
>kills fish Fuck the fish, it kills cars. Could just use sand but NOOOO, it's slightly less effective

Some places use gravel or sand. Glad to live in an area that does, even if it means windshields get ultra fucked around here.

>How is it even necessary now with traction control, ABS, AWD, etc? Because none of those stop your car, they only help it go.
The real issue is people are too stupid/cheap to just GET SNOW TIRES.
Carter Cook
ALWAYS go to your local car wash preferably AutoBell and get the underbody wash option to wash off all the salt and shit on the bottom of your car.
Julian Gray
not everyone lives in your backwater shithole, cletus, what the fuck is autobell?

Grew up in MI and just moved back recently for uni. I might only drive a focus, but I'm terrified to look under
