Driver plans one last winter run in Toyota MR2 before road salt season
Original: I need to get out for one last back roads toboggan run with the MR2 before salt season starts. # Toyota # AW11 # MR2 # C
A Toyota MR2 owner is planning a final drive on snowy back roads before winter road salting begins, calling it a 'toboggan run'. The AW11-generation MR2, a classic 1980s mid-engine sports car, is prized by enthusiasts, and road salt is known to accelerate rust on older vehicles, making the last pre-salt outing a small seasonal ritual.
Why now: Winter is ending and owners of classic cars rush to enjoy them before salt trucks start corroding the roads.
