[s-cars] OE wheels, 993 calipers, and road sand

[Paul Krasusky]

Hmmm...  similar but different, someone else (Pizzo?) suggested possibly
adhering some of that fancy headlight / hood edge clear protectant to the
cals.  Thoughts?

It was 20F all the way from OH to FL?  Yes, that counts!

Lessee.  How about if you cover your shiny calipers with a thin coat of
tar or some such (just for the winter)?  That could protect the paint
if done right.  Or maybe that rubber coating they sell for plier handles?

Then you could use your Pizzotron Industries 16" Snowsports to great effect!

If you won't step up to that, we'll tell you your sister has ugly elbows
while we pass (toluene fortified) gas in your general direction.

Does riding a motorcycle From Ohio to Florida in 20 degree F weather count?
