I agree that salt is bad for cars, but is there any alternative? 

I'll take a car that's rusted out after 14 years over the number

of accidents that would have occurred if the salt hadn't been put

on the roads over that time!  IMHO (and I do LOVE my cars) the

safety of ice-free roads is far more valuable than the amount of

damage that the cars sustain from the salt.
