All About Troy, NY

Troy's geography does real work on vehicles. The city rises steeply from the Hudson, and steep streets get treated early and heavily through winter because they have to be. That means a Troy car is in contact with salt and brine for a longer stretch of the season than one parked on flat suburban tarmac. The housing stock compounds it: a great many residents park on the street rather than in a driveway, so there is no convenient way to wash a car at home and the salt simply stays. Tight street parking also produces the contact damage we see most here, on door edges, mirror caps and bumper corners. The older brick and stone surfaces around the city throw more grit than smooth asphalt, which lands on rockers and lower doors.
