<VV> LIVE FROM THE SALT CITY (syracuse ny)

[N2VZD at aol.com]

syracuse ny is known as the "salt city". of course it was because salt was  
produced here years ago.  now most is from watkins glen ny area mines. but  all 
roads are very white with salt from November or before, until at least  April.
if you have not worked on rusty cars that are only a couple years old , you  
have not been tried by fire (torches) yet. the north east cars are about done 
in  at 5 years, or less. (that's even with good care!)
imagine worry's over brake tubing , and fuel lines at @2 years old! gas  
tanks 3 years old along with senders are a popular item here. cars turn brown  
underneath in one season. my corvairs wont go out until the white is rinsed off  
the roads by heavy rains. the roads are pure white today , and near the 
thruway  , it is a cloud in the air from traffic. this would take out a decent car 
in a  very short time. i have parted out many cars and fc's that broke beyond 
moving  on wheels.
dang salt anyhow.  long live pb blaster and torches.
regards, tim colson
