Yeah they use boucoup salt everywhere.  I was giving my trailer hitch a coat �
of black rustoleum and noticed that the wing nut that secures my spare tire �
was corroded to the point that I might have to cut it off and get a new one.  �
I even was thinking that it might be prudent to have the tow bar / trailer �
hitch powder coated.  There are a lot of auto specialty shops in New Bedford �
where they will sand blast parts and powdercoat them for you.  My stock wheels �
would look great with a candy coated purple to offset the blue car :)

... A BAND-AID?  Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...  Oh, yeah!
