The car rip rap pictured in the ad is on the Bighorn river. Ft Smith, MT.

Presumably, you're referring to railroad cars. Take the trucks out
from under them and the're just steel boxes. Seems innocuous enough to
me. Automobiles are another matter entirely.

Actually, they are small ore cars, like the type used in mines. Yes,
except for the rust, they are just steel boxes.

I guess if it works - great-??

Although - Not too pretty

Nor too environmentally friendly, I should think.

The Crowsnest River has an area where the bank is lined by ore cars.
They are filled in and overgrown now, but you can still see them. The
fishing isn't too bad in that spot either.

Yeah, Good point (your first?), I recall reading a study that suggested
the primary source of PCP polution in MT fresh water was leaking brake
fluid from car rip rap.

Can you remember where you read that?
It is not surprising - just more depressing on the night the Mets lost!

I'm under the impression that the cars for use that way have their
engines and probably gas tanks pulled before they go in the river.
Maybe a lot of their interiors, too, like the seats.

Well, it was the early 80's... so it as in print... but I'll do a brief
search to come up with the cites...

PCP pollution?! From _brake fluid_?! Have you been subjected to a lot
of this, um, "pollution?"

My bet is the answer would be something along the lines of,
"Strawberries!!"..."I'm a little teapot..."

It is not surprising

Uh, it's not? OK, I'll bite - just how leaking brake fluid, or anything
else on in, on, or related to an auto, causing "PCP pollution?"

...."more depressing...," you say? Well, it would explain the PCP...

WTF,

Yeah, Good point

Is it? Well, good, I've been saving it for a long time in the hope of
finding someone of sufficiently penetrating insight and sound judgment to
assess it for me. Looks like this is my lucky day.

(your first?),

Don't know......I was hoping you'd tell me.

They should use retards. I read a study that suggested they're
biodegradable.

A quick google-ing returns scores of envionmetal studies concerning the
pollution effects from automotive chemicals... I may have had the PCP
source from brake fluid wrong, however.... memory, its a sometimes
thing...

Not really, I'm not sure that even Sigmund and C.J could help you....
