Default Beet juice on roads

Not kidding here. The state of Nebraska in all their infinite wisdom has been spraying beet juice on icy roads. Apparently it makes the salt stick better to the road. I imagine it makes road slush stick to your underside as well. Goodbye frame.

They have been doing it for about three years now. I won't even drive my discos with snow and ice cuz I know that pxss yellow crap is gonna rot my car. Hell I got into discos so I could play in the snow.

They do that in Canada, too. It supposedly won't freeze and it "stays in place". Some other things stay in place, like jelly and glue. I wouldn't want to drive on either.

I'm in Texas, but I watch a lot of TV.

I always say don't eat off the road, and don't drive on food.

Oh, you think that's bad, in Arizona they sprayed glue on the desert beside I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson to try to prevent dust during dust storms!

I just laughed out loud at the "Arizona glue roads." I don't know why but I have this image of a truck rolling down the road filled to the brim with Elmer's.
