I'm actually about a half hour Southwest of Flint out in the country...well water!

I only put Flint down because pretty much no one has ever heard of the little town I live on the outskirts of...

But yes...the Flint water situation is a total debacle.

no such thing.. I bought my car to enjoy. I don't take it out if I know it's going to be nasty or if the roads are salty/wet but if it's dry and nice out I'll go out. No way in hell I'm going to park it for 4-6 months out of the year.
