Today I washed my car, last time I did it was probably july, and in the last few weeks as you put on winter tires (studded tires, especially) and the roads are gritted my car was getting quite dirty and seemed to make people flinch when they saw that they were too close…
One year I was broke. I could afford gas but didn’t wash the car all winter. the salt got in and started the rust going.
Wash your car.
Yeah, unfortunately here where I live you may not wash you car at home anymore, unless you have a spot where the waste water is collected and filtered, so I have to go to the petrol station to rent a spot where I can wash my car indoors and they deal with the waste water.
Sounds like a civilized country.
Interesting? Where?
In some areas they’ve reduced the amount of salt in order to protect the ground water. Living in an area like that is pretty nice because your car won’t rust that easily either. However, the roads can be very icy, so you win some and you lose some.
I wish they would do that here. We have the highest salt use on our roads compared to anywhere else in the world.
Based on the .ca, I’m going to guess that Canadians don’t take ground water very seriously.
Sadly, no.
I don’t drive since they changed my work location.
Not having to deal with the car is pretty nice. If I need one, I can always rent.
Oh absolutely! Cars are also incredibly expensive to operate. You really don’t want to own one unless you really need it. All that money could be spent on so many things.
