If anyone has a wish list and wants rust free, let me know and I can look for you here in Oregon.

Why doesn’t the PNW have rust issues? Y’all get snow right? Y’all just use sand, no salt or brine ?

 

[ORVietVet]

Sand on roads except for a brine in some of the passes. No salt that I know of but gov officials can change at any time. I know a "coast" vehicle when you see the salt residue on parts under the hood. Salt in the air on the coast. Except for altitude snows, here in the valley we hardly ever get snow or ice. Does not drop below freezing usually. We can be 60*-70* at the valley floor and we can drive up to snow. Hardly ever gets real hot here, either. Low humidity and lower temps. If gets above 85*, it is usually for short periods of time.

Had no idea y’all’s weather was that nice. Lucky.

There are desert areas east of us and south, closer to Ca. it can get really hot in the summertime. As I grew up, I lived in and around KC, Mo. Hot and humid and can have some very cold and snowy/icy winters. My dad was an owner/operator truck driver and I went with him "alot". Every time we traveled to the PNW, I loved it and swore to myself that one day I would live here. I ran shops in KC, Mo. and put my resume out thru IATN-International Automotive Technician's Network. Interviewed in Co. but did not like it and held out. Then I got a hit on my resume from a shop in Eugene, Or. They flew me out and put me up at a hotel and we talked and they made me an offer. I went home and sold my house within 30 days and headed west. I moved here in 1995 and never looked back. Can drive to the mountains or coast or desert and temps/humidity suit me.

The weather is great but you have to deal with rain. No thunderous downpours and hail like in the Midwest but can rain in some form or another for days on end. Lots of green out here. The thing that really helped sell the place was my first dealings with vehicles in the shops. NO RUST. It is Nirvana.

Very impressive. Sounds like a nice area.

I like knowing I will not be sweating after I die.

What is snow?

What is snow?

It is something that I hardly ever see on the valley floor but can drive to when it is 90 degrees.

What is snow?

Its this fluffy substance that turns an entire state into one big playground if you have the right machine to ride on it. My boys love it.

 

[stutaeng]

Snow here means the entire place shuts down. The few cars out there on the streets think they are driving bumper cars and smashing into anything and everything. SMH

Same here. About once a winter, we get a dusting of snow and no one seems to know how to drive in it. If we get over an 1", the city comes to a halt.

I'm super grateful that Spokane (Eastern Wa) doesn't salt the roads. We get real winters here and our vehicles don't rot. 30 y/o daily drivers wont have more than minor surface rust.

And the idiots around here speed up in the snow. They'll go 10 under in the rain but 10 over in the snow.
