I've been caught (only once, thankfully) in an ice storm on I25 north of
Denver with all lanes doing a suicidal 80+MPH - never been more
frightened on a road in my life - but generally 85 wouldn't be
considered all that fast here, although average motorway speeds are
dropping because there are so many cameras now.

As I said though, neither country/state is especially fast compared to
the Autobahn.

Europe has far too many bendy roads for most Yanks' little minds to
cope with.

The problem is not salt, but ferous screws into alu alloy threads.

And *I* couldn't understand what you were trying to say and replied:

"Yes, hence the copper grease. Your point?"

Your call now.

Indeed. I've pointed out (as has another poster) that I didn't X-post
anything: that the OP posted to three ngs.

I'm waiting for an apology but I'm not holding my breath.
