"Stoddard oil" was essentially it way back when;

It is stoddard "solvent", not "oil". Jes cuz it is a petroleum
distilate, does not make it a lubricant. Is gasoline a lubricant?

BTW, water is also considered a "solvent".

And after 2 weeks with no rain, and then a light downpour, my Ranger
thought water was a pretty good lubricant on the road too - - - -

We get a lot of that, here in Atlanta, every time it rains. People
just can't understand the basics of defensive driving.

If I type the word "snow" someone nearby will slide off the highway and onto the median.
Yep...there they go. Sorry about that.


They absolutely freak here. If I didn't have to be on the same roads,
it would be hilarious.

LOL! I spent a week there one day in January '82.

Well, that's exactly the storm I was referring to (AKA
"Snowmageddon"). The city of Atlanta didn't bother to cancel school
that day (the schools in our area did), then released all the kids at
the same time as most of the businesses closed and sent their people
home. I can't imagine being stuck overnight on a school bus full of
2nd graders but there they were.

I live at the far edge of the "metro area" and we had 2", at most. It
took me three hours to get home (normally 25min) and I had to take the
polar route to even get there. My normal route was impassible - cars
everywhere.
