Hey guys,

Well the FREEZING cold has come into Toronto....I really would like to drive my 911 on dry days....so I did today. I noticed however that there was lots of dry salt on the roads...and the wind was blowing it around...I got nervous.

Question - Will dry salt cause rust? I wont drive her on wet slush days, but its a shame to not enjoy her on dry sunny cold days...

Chimera

I believe road deicers are usually chlorides or mixtures of chlorides, so they are potentially corrosive. I'm with you on driving the Porsche in the winter if I can find dry pavement, and I'll use a car wash if I accumulate salt. Fortunately, they don't use much salt in North Dakota (too cold).

Buy an aluminum car.

Not sure how that would help..........Alluminum oxide is just as bad, ever seen a 928 door.......

Agree with Kev, my coilovers have alu and steel, and they fuse together, needed refurb, and protective grease.

My NSX seems fine, I was under the impression that it was rust proof, I guess I need to go through a high school science class again.
