We`ve had more snow than I`ve seen in a winter since I`ve been here. It is raining right now and I hope the snow is over. Even with t-lok I`m goin to have to get better tires for next winter. I drive this car year round.
I need a break in the weather so I can install my Earls SS brake lines !

i dont have a garage yet. i drive mine whenever. the car is meant to drive and have fun with. i understang why you wouldnt drive it in snow or salted roads (i havent either) but to not drive it because its cold outside is silly imo. you bought the car to enjoy and in the end it is a mustang gt that in 5-10 years from now will be worth half of what we payed for them (if we're lucky) so i say enjoy them. dont get me wrong i LOVE my car but ive been through this before with other cars and in 2010 it will probably be a new mustang if i like them (i will keep this one as well).

You guys should see how it is where I am!
You guys are tired???? Look at what I have to drive during the winter!!!...A Kia Sportage with about 1 horse power. It snows so much here that I couldn't drive my mustang even if I had no other car, I would have to buy snow shoes ore cross country skies. My car is in a heated garage with and is inside of a bubble.

Winter is the best time of year here. This afternoon I was out and about town -- with BOTH WINDOWS DOWN. You guys that live in sucky weather, why the heck do you live there?
The consequence to mild winters is the hot summers... Personally, I'd rather live in hot summer weather than cold winter weather. FYI, I don't own a winter coat and so far this winter, it has dipped below freezing one morning.

Because I would go insane without 4 seasons in a year. Nice weather all year long is great, but I would get disoriented after a while. My body is used to the seasons, and I would miss winter - by mid September I'm usually done with hot summer and am ready for fall.
That being said, by about mid-Feb (i.e. now) I am SO OVER winter. I am just ACHING for my car, which is stored about 2hrs north of me at my parents' place. Everytime I approach a corner in my winter car, all I want to do is heel-toe and get a nice shot of Mustang exhaust rumble and fly around that corner. I MISS MY MUSTANG! And she won't be out probably until mid-April (depending on how fast spring arrives).

PS - this particular winter has been a good old fashions hammering of snow here in Toronto. Some pics of a storm back in December...

I'm not THAT tired of winter. I like the change of seasons and snow really is a beautiful thing. Besides, if it's cold, I put on the proper attire and then I'm not cold, not rocket science. I don't miss my car because I drive it in the winter, which is totally possible, if you choose to do so. Again not rocket science.

I really just hate the cold, because my old bones can't take lying on cold concrete so much anymore, so I can't get anything done in my garage during winter. I've got sooo many boxes of parts to install that I'm gonna need a good week just to unpack them!!!

You people are nuts! How could anyone say they wouldn't like it to be nice all year round??? I guess it's a bit different when you have to work outside in the crap too. I'd take nice all year round ANYDAY.

I HATE WINTER.
The upside of this is I now have name for my car: Puck. Yes, I am going to name it Puck.

Kristina, like you I do miss the "4 Seasons" but I have gotten used to it. It still gets into the 80's this time of year down here but it is usually in the 70's with evening temps in the 60's to low 70's. The best part is every couple weeks it dips down enough to bring on sweat shirt weather, my favorite! I also love it when we get a cold blast and the temps fall into the 40's for a day or two. The "Natives" go crazy and dress like they are going to tailgate at a Green Bay Packers game. Summers are hot no doubt but to my surprise and my opinion they are worse in NJ. Up there you have a constant stagnant humidity. Here you feel the sun more then the humidity and god I don't miss the blazing haze up there.
I don't forecast myself staying here for the rest of my life but compromising up to the mid Atlantic states would be the choice, a little more of the 4 season action.

I grew up in Buffalo. You would think I wouldn't get so freaked out with snow. But then again I didn't drive in it too long before we moved to the snow belt called Cleveland! Anyway, I think growing up in snow is why I love it so much, just not driving in it.

I wish I could. I did make it to work. First 10 miles of highway was at least plowed, icy but doable very slowly. Second 10 miles was NOT plowed - my biggest problem was the dang snow being higher than the bottom of my car. IDIOTS. I hope I didn't screw anything up under my car
I probably would not hate driving in snow so much if they would just PLOW THE ROADS.
