Ruining my vehicle to keep me safe

[ray1970]

For those who haven't heard, CDOT is pretty excited about the new brine solution they'll be spreading on the roads to reduce icing. It goes on wet and then dries to leave salt on the road to help prevent ice.

Sounds like we can look forward to otherwise nice vehicles with gnarly rust everywhere just like back east.

Thanks CDOT.

I grew up in Michigan where the cars only had one rust spot. All the way around the car.

Car wash businesses are happy, everyone will be trying to wash that crap off their cars as soon as possible once they find out what it does.

And it is also a subversive way for CO. To get all the old clunkers off of our highways.

Be prepared to dodge car parts road debris more often.....

I think it's actually a way for CDOT to save money. They did mention it's about half the price of the magnesium chloride.

I miss the days of sand and pea gravel. I'd rather deal with busted windshields and chipped paint than rust.

Well, of course it's a cost saving measure. We could afford it pre-pot tax, but not now? Fucking joke.

And it's not about keeping YOU save Ray, it's about the children....somehow.

Western Pennsylvania uses ground slag from the coal mines. Looks awful but cost almost nothing. I don't miss the whining politicians back east complaining about the increased cost of snow removal when they actually had snow. Why bother, the schools were normally closed a day ahead of any forecast measurable accumulation. 6PM, partly cloudy, nothing on the ground but by tomorrow morning they are calling for as much as two inches of the white stuff. Need to go get some eggs, bread, milk and toilet paper just in case

I'm remaining vigilant in case any of my neighbors try to steal my eggs, bread, milk, or toilet paper. Those are hot commodities in times of crisis.
