71stroker Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I awoke today in beautiful Southern California (im a Native to So Cal.) to find this strange substance all over my car...im not sure how to approach the issue. Do I just try to rub it off or do i need to use some sort of special removal process??? I did hear the guy on the news babbling about some sort of warning but... didnt take it seriously.. I took a pic of this substance below....(large file bear with the delay.) Any one who can help plz reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Whatever it is, we had it around my house as well. It didn't even bother me enough to stop riding my motorcycle to work even though it was still coming down a little when I left my house.

primadonna z Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 From the looks on their faces, I don't believe the tree's are enjoying it either. Do they bite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Here on the East coast we dump rock salt on them when they look like that. If you dont have an 80 pound bag of rock salt, you can just take a sawzall and just start cutting away the affected metal. It's pretty much what we do here. Good luck man.

Here comes trouble Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Further North, the problem is even worse. I applied for a grant with Home Land Security to do research on the problem. An HLS official from Bagdad promised a Hum Vee and Junior Space Cadet badge to get me started on the research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
