   Yeah they use boucoup salt everywhere.  I was giving my trailer hitch a coat    
      
   of black rustoleum and noticed that the wing nut that secures my spare tire    
      
   was corroded to the point that I might have to cut it off and get a new one.     
      
   I even was thinking that it might be prudent to have the tow bar / trailer    
      
   hitch powder coated.  There are a lot of auto specialty shops in New Bedford    
      
   where they will sand blast parts and powdercoat them for you.  My stock wheels    
      
   would look great with a candy coated purple to offset the blue car :)
