Talking about cars driving in crappy weather...There was a broken down silver S on the southbound side of the Northway at exit 11 today. Anyone know who it is?? Today's weather would've been a rough to drive in!!

I'm of the same opinion
Even lots of washing only slows down the disintegration a tiny bit
Not all places seem to use the amount of salt like they use here
Here though, the towns just go crazy with the stuff

Sort of the same thing with my '90 CRX-Si
110,000 miles, basically been a care-free car
A car mind you that got hammered around Watkins Glen for a decade
Rear wheel bearings are about the only failure I have experienced

Wow, 110k! I thought 115k on a 94 was pretty low miles

Well technically it's 112,290, I just checked 
I bought the car used in Feb of 1991, it was an early to mid-year '90
I got it with about 13,000 miles on it from a Saturn dealer in Syracuse
I drove it that winter, and then the winter of '91-92 and then retired it from winter use
That's when I got my 1st pickup, so for the vast majority of its life it has only been a seasonal driver
And of course, the 1st couple of years I had the S it got very little use
For the last 10-years it only seems to get from 500 to 2,500 miles per year is all
It is for sure a garage queen, it lead a hard life when it was my track car so I figure it has earned the privilege of being a garage queen
