Sorry it's 360K, but the panorama may be worth the hassle. (Nikon Coolpix 2500 FWIW) This of a car somewhere in Penn. For us Calif. types.. Whooo-Eeee. I can feel it since the buried thing is same model as my wheels. Can barely imagine.. not having a garage, commute on now regularly icy roads (per other direct reports) -- then do it again after one's office incarceration is fulfilled. Salt. RUST. Wash car underside. Wash!? - how? where! Sorry bout all youse folks in the {{deep freeze}} :( Ashton

Then again, it could just be bad timing. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #82,317 by Ashton 2/17/03 8:54:50 PM Reply	Er wrong.. clear coats: H2O + grime = acids; pinholes, rust People who drive fancy cars in snow + salt areas DO go to self-carwashes and clean underside. How often == how picky. The smart/rich ones just use a beater in the winter and keep other one in unheated garage till spring. I hear. (Retaining new-car shine for long.. is a $B industry; some of the stuff is even rumored to Work)

You can't dry it and once it freezes in the wheels, and between moving parts, the car quickly becomes a road hazard. (From experience by someone I know in VT who just bought a new car and was determined not to let winter get a grip on it.)
