Salt or a similar chemical substitute (some kinda blue crystals) is necessary here. Not sure how its managed but the runoff isn't an issue AFAIK. Sure I'd rather live in Oz. I like wolf spiders.

They could run the power lines under the main roads, that would warm them up! Trouble is, everyone would be driving in a strong magnetic field. I saw one of those bird eating spiders once, it was huge, down in the grass near the windmill. Never could find it again. |

Lets see, spend $3,120 over ten years so you might have a car worth that much? Or, skip the whole washing thing and take a nice road trip/vacation a couple of times over the ten years? Next thing you know, you will try to convince me that financing a toy car like this makes any kind of sense? |

I'm pretty much agreeing with NOHOME on this. I just put some mudflaps on yesterday (just because I accept it doesn't mean I won't fight it a little bit) and when I pulled back the liners, the rockers were full of leaves.
Eventually those are going to be packed in there where they will retain water and salt and bring some nice rust. If I still have this car after it's been parked outside and driven daily for ten years, I'd be carefully considering the money on each repair. If I really loved the car and wanted to keep driving it longer, I'd probably sell it local and buy another used one from the southwest. -Justin
