Title: Last roadtrip for the season
Post by: Heo on October 18, 2019, 05:05:28 PM: I really love to drive this car, i have used it as a daily driver the whole summer. But this will be the last trip for the season.
Snow is coming and the salt truck with that, i wish they had not started to salt the roads in the 90s before that you could
take it out a nice sunny winter day with out have to wash it for hours. And to those who claim mechanical cams need constant
valve adjustment I'm on my second year on the adjustment i did after breaking in the cam :)

Started out half decent just some light showers

But as we got higher up there was the snow and salt, and to late to turn back

Nice scenery but I will take my hot Oklahoma weather over 6 months of snow and ice.

Post by: TomP on October 19, 2019, 03:38:19 PM: Yes that in my ideal salt crusted road! Around here they use some chemical brine they spray on the roads. It seems to be ten times more corrosive than salt. It destroys chrome and polished aluminum in just one outing.

Post by: drdano on October 20, 2019, 12:05:25 PM: We use Salt-A-Way spray on the vehicles that go to Bonneville each year. It works pretty well, keeps the salt from sticking on the surfaces and it all sprays off with a hose.
