So we all can uber a Polar bear. Too cool other than Polar bears are the most likely to eat you than any other bear on the planet. They are not cute..... they are fierce.
Now we can buy cab over track vehicles to save us from salt rusting our wheeled stuff. Look into the price and speed of such cab over track vehicle. The maintenance, the sensibility as compared to just dealing with rust..... Really? Really. Yes. I live in an area where it is perfectly legal to run your snowmobile on just about any road besides the interstate. It really does not work out as well and simply as you think...
BTW. Much of Alaska does indeed use salt.
Yes. I guess that I am a Northern dikk as you say it.... But I know better than to drive a vintage Chevelle in the winter. You just make your choice of what you sacrifice to the winter. Honestly. If you live in the right area, you could ice skate or cross country ski to work. How long do you want your commute to take every day? How many days of work are you willing to miss because of the weather? How well can you deal with not getting groceries, gasoline, anything at the drug store, etc.? If a Prius cannot get there. Neither can the 18 wheelers that stock the shelves. Really? Move to the north and live in reality for a second.
Winter is not a video game. It is not ice road truckers...... and if you ever got the true reality of ice road truckers.... It was about a truck or two getting a load of chickens, potato salad, bread and toilet paper to a place where that one or two trucks full of it supplied them for a winter. Not where umpteen trucks an hour needed to cross to even have what seems like bare shelves. Ice road truckers feeds very small populations. I live where there are real cities.
Y'all enjoy the cycle of rusty salt ran by a Mafioso situation. It's a business with good job security. Hey, don't worry.....! I won't be trying to interfere with their racket. I'm sure the car dealers love the turn around, after your vehicle turns into a pile of chitt in just a few years. It should be illegal to even sell these heaps of rust....They're dangerous!! The paint and body guys probably love the biz, they probably have thousands of gallons of body filler laying around. 😁 I'm sure the earth appreciates it's hollowed out caverns, where salt use to exist. Would'nt want to live on top of that!! We pump salt water back into the earth around here that comes from oil n gas wells, because it's basically toxic to everything it touches. Don't need millions of gallons of salt water killing and poisoning everything in sight, right? No millennial here, just someone that has observed the ignorance. I drove in 4 low in my jeep all over the place in our little 7 day 30 in snovid a few years ago. Never had any issues either. The cars, 2 wheel trucks, and crossovers did though. There was thousands of people stranded in their homes! Not me, and I was only running a nice new set of Goodyear 31s! It was so bad that tens of thousands of little birds, wildlife, ect kicked over dead. Hell, the highway department could look into the introduction of buried heat tracers to melt the ice and snow. That salt budget has to add up enough to want to try, right? Being trapped in an asinine relm of chitt is just that. I've owned 34 XJs, and none were ever purchased from any rust belt by me.
