We all know what salt does to cars...! (It's also a bit reminiscent of Boston's molasses disaster in the 1910s, when a molasses tank gave way, causing many deaths. The Morton avalanche, fortunately, caused no casualties.) tjoeb};> Edited by tjoebigham (Wed Dec 31 2014 01:56 PM)

Did they repair the cars or sell them cheap? _________________________ Thought for life: Be nice to all you meet on your way up, for you might meet them again on your way down!
