Question: Does the snow mess up or tarnish the paint??? I live is So. CAL. we never get anything but sunshine around here. So, i am not sure how the stang's paint holds up in the snow. DO tell. thanks
Mud and grime from the road is a bigger problem than snow, and I guess that goes for summer climate too. The problem with snow is that it makes the grime stick to the car, agh. Paint usually stands up good to snow/ice even when fresh like this one.

The dirt needs to get off though, preferrably once a week using just hot water and a sponge. IF it's not freezing conditions that is.

/my experience

Never noticed how good the bullitts looked on redfire! Nice combo

BTW, the frost makes the redfire almost look like a champange color!

Congrats and it is funny how many people think we are crazy to drive these in the snow. I think I'd be crazy not too

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I am going to HAVE to drive mine in the winter. Can't afford a second car, however, I could always save up for some snow tires and a car cover.

Beautiful car. I love that Redfire with Bullitt rim Combo.

I'll be posting pictures of the new car cover in the next couple days if anybody is interested. I also have the tri-ax shifter but I might not get to that for a couple days... going to enjoy the car for a couple days even if it's only in the garage

Now I just need some nice weather!
