Questions Related to south, salt cars

Provided By Y! Answers

Why does salt and snow make cars rust away?
Question:
There are lots of old cars around here in the south but up north they are not as common. They say its because of the salt, that makes them rust away n if you have a classic care up north it has to spend its life in a garage or else it doesn't last as long. Why? How does that work?


Answer:
As the other poster said, it is a chemical reaction from the road salt that causes the rust to form on the older cars. Many of the new cars are made from a form of galvanized steel, that resists the salt chemicals, so they do last longer. And yes, there are not many really old cars left in road use condition here in the north. the only way we could keep the older cars was to only drive them between May and September, and not use them in the winter, especially here in Pennsylvania. And, the state will not pay for salt damage! Some parts places buy pickup beds from southern states, and bring them up north, to sell as replacement truck beds. Sometimes you can buy one in the correct color. We have strict State safety inspections, and any damage from rusting will not pass the test, even if it has been caused by the salt the state put on the roads! Sort of a "Catch-22 deal!" The salt melts the snow, and cuts down on the amount of snow plowing, but its other problems cause us a lot of money for rust repairs!

I would like to camp in utah near or south of salt lake city but not at a campsite how do i go about this?
Question:
I'd really appreciate finding someone who has experience camping near in utah.. I know i may need a backwoods permit but I want to make sure I can find a good place to park my car and have some isolation. near a river would be awesome but I know there arent' too many.. Thanks


Answer:
I've deer hunted and camped all over Utah from the Uintahs to to Book Cliffs and never needed any kind of permit. I think you could pretty much walk in any direction out of Salt Lake and find some great places. Shut, the Wasatch Range is right in your back yard. if you want to be near water, check out the Provo River area.

Is anyone familiar with a tradition of hanging a small bag of salt in a new car for luck?
Question:
This may be an Italian tradition (learned from an ex whose family was from a different part of Italy than my ancestors are) or could have just been a South Philly thing. Either way have a few friends with new cars and would like to do something for them. I recall a red ribbon and maybe a religious medal tied to the baggie if that helps?


Answer:
I don't know about that one, really! But I do know that if you hang clear baggies with a little vinegar in them around your patio/porch etc. it keeps the flies/bees etc. away! Believe it or not! It is just an old Mexican tradition, but it really does work!

Which car to take on a road trip from salt lake through bryce, grand canyon to San F. and LA.?
Question:
We are 2 european going on a road trip starting in salt lake city and going south to bryce and grand canyon to hike and then through death valley and up to SF and along the coastline to LA. My question is which car would you recommend? Extra info: We may want to sleep in the car for to or 3 nights. The trip is in june, so it will be hot. We have to rent the car through holiday auto. Hope someone can give some advise. Thanks.


Answer:
What are your choices? Having lived in the area and driven all of those roads my personal choice and a car that I've owned and driven on those roads would be a Mercury Grand Marquis. Here's an image of one http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2 Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3D200 9%2520Mercury%2520Grand%2520Marquis%26SpellState%3Dn-1202829140_q -fhuqjQ0gdBlPTfmWoJMdVQAAAA%2540%2540%26fr2%3Dtab-web&w=960&h=430 &imgurl=www.mercuryvehicles.com%2Fgrandmarquis%2Fimg%2Fgrandmarqu is_ext_360.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercuryvehicles.com%2Fgrandm arquis%2Fgallery_ext_360.asp&size=134.7kB&name=grandmarquis_ext_3 60.jpg&p=2009+Mercury+Grand+Marquis&type=JPG&oid=5c8cfa7be1574ca0 &no=6&tt=50&sigr=11va7n32t&sigi=121agj9n8&sigb=14v4om3k7 It's a big comfortable rear wheel drive vehicle with a huge trunk , a small block V-8 [ 4.6 ] that burns regular gas , will get 27 mpg at highway speeds and will run all and night & day at 90 mph A side advantage for you guys is that it has a split bench front seat so if you kick up the arm rests one of you can sleep in the front seat and one of you can sleep in the back. A Ford Crown Victoria is basically the same vehicle in a less luxurious form > i.e.No leather As far as your routing goes I really think that at the very least you should add Capitol Reef & Zion NP to your list Try this for starts SLC >Torey UT >Escalante UT> Hurricane UT > Colorado City AZ>North Rim AZ> GCN> Kingman AZ >CA I-40 exit 78 http://www.nps.gov/moja >Baker CA> Furnace Creek CA>Lee Vining CA>El Portal CA >SFO Btw 1 You do realize that the Inner Gorge of the Canyon is going to be hotter than Hell in June don't you? Btw2 If precip isn't an issue you can just drive down a desert road pull over somewhere remote and spend the night sleeping under the stars w/o walls Enjoy the West Updates 1)I've hiked almost everything in the Canyon that NPS describes as a Trail and a couple of things that NPS describes as a Route >If you have any questions , just drop me a line 2) Speaking of NPS ; If you're going to be visiting more than 3.5 National Parks one of these comes in really handy http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm Btw >the photo on the Pass is of Nankoweap Ruins looking down River 3) As far as either sleeping in vehicles or racking out under the stars goes; while I don't do it in anything even remotely resembling civilized areas in remote areas of America I have done it many times w/ no problems at all. 4) As far as vehicles go I'm going to say that over half of your journey will not be driven on Interstate Highways [ which I've indicated by using the letter "I " in my descriptions] You will be spending a lot of time driving on the high-speed mostly 2 lane US highways of the West where the ability to pass another vehicle quickly is a huge asset.In addition many of those roads involve a lot of up and down climbing >another good reason to have sufficient power under foot . One of the reasons that I'm a little leery about suggesting SUVs and mini-vans is because I've seen far too many of them upside down. There are three primary causes for that to happen 1) Snapping back into a lane when doing a short high speed pass 2)Entering a decreasing radius turn with too much initial speed 3) The Venturi Effect which is what happens when you come thru a narrow pass and get slammed by an unexpected crosswind upon exiting it ,There's a spot on I-17 N leaving Phoenix that probably flips at least one or two vehicles a week Lastly this trip is a lot easier to do if you do it in a counterclockwise direction i.e SLC>SFO >LAX Doing so will allow you to pick up and drop off your car at the same location >much cheaper It will also allow you to visit one of my favorite" looks like another planet "places in America which is Bonneville Salt Flats >UT , I-80 W to the NV/UT stateline

Winter weather on used cars?
Question:
I'm in the market for buying a used car ($5-7K) in Illinois and I'll be moving to the South Carolina in 1 month. I wanted to know if Midwest winter weather does enough damage to vehicles to make it worthwhile to hold off on buying a vehicle until after I move (salt, cold starts, etc). What type of wear on a Midwest car could I expect to find but not on a car from the south? Thanks in advance.


Answer:
Slug, I grew up in the Midwest and now live in the Carolinas. I would definitely, most definitely wait until you get down here to buy a car. I sold cars for a while. The cars that come from up North scream "road chemical damage." It is most obvious on aluminum motor parts, but most costly on body panels, brake lines and the like. In South Carolina you will find that there is no such thing as road salt or anything like that. Cars down here are surprisingly well preserved. I've followed a number of models of classic cars in both IN and SC, looking to buy one. There is no comparison. The IN cars are in the junk yard several years before the local cars. A car that you buy up North will lose value just by bringing it down here. Any dealer will be able to spot the effects of road chemicals and will discount the price accordingly. Plus you will find some differences in equipment down here. AC is an absolute necessity and more attention is given to maintaining it. Also you don't need snow tires, obviously. There are many fewer dark colored cars down here. Definitely wait. You'll have fewer headaches down the road.

People from the south...?
Question:
I was just wondering if your cars get all rusty down south cuz there is no snow (therefore no salt). I live in Michigan and the winter season is eating the 5HIT out of my Jeep Wrangler. Its really pissing me off. Thanks


Answer:
The ocean has salt it... That salt resin get all over everything!

What's the best resource to find the true value of your used car?
Question:
There are so many resources out there, but what's the most reliable to know what your used car is REALLY worth? Kelly Blue Book? NADA? Edmunds? Galves? Parkers? Our cars are usually well under typical mileage and in better than used condition. (We work from home, have no kids, and we only put about 6K-7K a year on our cars, and never use the back seat.) People who get in our car freak out and think we just bought it. We're in the South too (Atlanta) so there's no wear and tear from snow and salt. E.g., our Honda 2003 CRV w/ 36000 on it, really clean... supposed trade-in is around $14,150, dealer retail $16,600. Should we expect $14,150 or even more? Are we simply better off selling it on our own, or can we get a good deal for it as a trade-in because of its condition?


Answer:
car dealers go by NADA, if trading in they give you wholesale price, if your selling the car yourself go by book value.

Any advice for saving money on accomodations on a road trip through Utah and Nevada?
Question:
I'm traveling alone and staying at motels and hopefully hostels where they're available. I'm going to Salt Lake City, South Utah and possibly coming back though Death Valley. It doesn't seem like campgrounds are open now. I would consider sleeping there in my car otherwise.


Answer:
Hey if you like Hostels then you will like Couchsurfing! This is a website that links fellow travelers with other travelers. People will open up their homes and host you for a night or two. Some people only have a couch and others have a spare bed. I have hosted many people and I have also traveled all over using couchsurfing. You go can browse through people’s profiles and see what they have to offer, then you can send them a request to surf. Most people will get back to you in less than 24 hours. I am so glad that I found counchsurfing it has saved me so much money. My friends just got back from Egypt using it and they had a great time and no problems. The great thing is that you are staying with a local and they can tell you where the locals go or even take you around town. Again I have never had any issues surfing with people or letting people surf with me. I just hosted someone last weekend and we had a blast. You sound like the type of person that would enjoy this so check it out! http://www.couchsurfing.com/

I'm thinking of moving further south?
Question:
Right now i live in upstate, NY and I'm getting pretty sick of the winters here and the tons of salt we dump on the roads that is destroying our cars. So i want to move further south to a warmer state. I have a friend in Knoxville, TN and i was thinking of there. But what are some warmer (preferably more humid) states on the east coast. The reason it has to be humid is my fiance gets nosebleeds very easily in hot dry weather. We are looking for a place (not a city, big towns are okay so are small ones) that would be good for a mechanic and a vet. yea darkhorse I know why they put the salt down I'm not slow but being a mechanic all the rust is making the job I love so much that much more irritating. p.s. I'm not going to move to Florida. I thought i would just make that clear i have visited multiple places there and its just mot my kind of place


Answer:
i have a friend of mine that lives in south carolina. they hardly ever get snow there and when they do, it only lasts about a day or two and its already melted. they live in the greenville/spartanburg area. the greenville area is alot more crowded because its a pretty big area. but if you wanted a smaller area, spartanburg is a good place. it has alot of businesses and stuff but not as big as greenville. as far as temperature goes, the lowest it usually gets in the winter time is around the 20's but thats usually only at night around december/january. and she is only 3 hours away from the beach.

Apartment won't salt parking lots! Can we take legal action?
Question:
Everyone knows this winter has been outrageous, especially here in the south where we almost never get snow. Problem is, my apartment complex never salts the parking lots, or even attempts to clear them off. I've fallen a few times, I've seen others fall numerous times, and a bunch of cars (mine included) are now stuck in the ice. Note that the complex won't clean off the sidewalks or the cement stairs! Public transit won't even come near the complex now either (it would get stuck!) and so for many of us there is no transportation whatsoever. Are the owners legally responsible for trying to keep the complex safe? Is there any way I could "convince" them to salt the parking lots for once (like, is it considered negligence or something)? Thanks for any help you could give! I can't leave the parking lot to get ice melt, or I would, believe me! I talked to a rep. at the office (very nice convo), and they said this, verbatim: "We do not take preventive measures." :/


Answer:
The terms of your lease apply, but in general, salting sidewalks and steps is considered part of routine maintenance and is the responsibility of the property owner. Parking lots are more iffy in that respect, You can't force them to salt or shovel, but if someone is injured, they will have a negligence case IF the pathways have not been cleared within a certain time after the storm stops (the standard is usually 4-6 hours with some wiggle room for overnight storms, your area may have specific times)
