it wouldnt be so bad but theres a chance that the 5 million tonnes of salt they chuck on the road at the sight of a cloud will rot the car from the ground up anyway

maybe i just have to accept it as a fact of life living out in the sticks? or maybe i should drive something i dont mind getting battered in the winter

*sniffle*

went to the art shop and bought a fine brush to have a go at the chips with. can't believe it. bstrds!

You seem to have been unlucky, but when would you have them grit the roads? I would be the first to complain if the gritters had not been out, living in the country myself. Only ever got splattered by a gritter and that was in London many years ago.
I believe councils are cnsidering a different way of salting the roads, using a saline solution, that would be even worse for rotting cars, even if it did not leave the odd mark on a car. :)
