It must take nerves of steel to pilot a vehicle at such speeds. I get nauseous just thinking about it.<br /><br />I grew up in Montreal - and they use road salt in winter to keep the ice from turning streets into skating rinks. It keeps you out of the ditch, but it'll destroy cars in much the same way as time on the salt flats will. Nice to know we've got yet another thing in common :)<br /><br />Can't wait to see your night shots.

On my list of cars to own before I die is a Boxter, but after seeing this one I think I will check for salt damage before checking any out that might appear on Craig's List! So far, though, the closest I've come is a 3-inch yellow die cast model.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14401701081792131171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-46808031332318236282011-09-09T13:15:06.392-06:002011-09-09T13:15:06.392-06:00Fascinating!
