<P>No problems with salt out here in Boulder. Just invest in some good windshield insurance. I average 2-3 windshields per winter. They use a sand (small stones!) on the road. Also they pretreat the roads with Sodium DI (blah blah blah)???? Don't think thats to good for the paint, but rust is not an issue. Send an E-mail when you get out here, it would be great to get a drink and check out the vans!</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Well, with the newest vanagon mechanic on the way, and all the family in CO,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;we're pulling up stakes and heading back to the mountains for a while. With
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a great deal of trepidation, I'll be driving my pristine 90 syncro westy to
<DIV></DIV>&gt;its new home in Boulder.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I dread the salt, but have to drive in the snow....what's a good syncro
<DIV></DIV>&gt;owner to do?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Just wondering what the latest super-duper corrosion inhibitors are that
<DIV></DIV>&gt;folks are using....I keep freezing to the driveway when I lie down under the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;van to spray off the salt underneath....
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;bmc :)
