It has been three weeks. Surprised the battery was OK. Sunny, dry, though cold - I wanted to drive her today. The salt was, for the most part, washed away last week. Felt good to turn the key!

I've forgotten when was the last time... Now would be a good time to sell it in prep for the '11 GT500, as I won't miss it as much... My new wife is having trouble understanding why I want to pay that much a month NOT to drive the car!

It has been five weeks since I've driven my Bullitt and six weeks since I last drove my '08 GT. Before those two times, it had been about that long since I had previously driven them. They always start right up, even after sitting for a month or two or longer every winter. I don't drive either of them if the roads have salt, snow, or ice on them, or of the temps are much below 30°F.

It's been about six hours since I drove mine to work in the wet snow and ice. I am not a slave to the weather!

Mine has not been out since well before Thanksgiving. And from the looks of things outside, I probably have at least another month

I am so glad that I am not making payments on a car that sits 4 to 5 months each year

We had quite a bit of rain here last weekend and it washed much of the sand and salt away. Still a bit wary of that, but I just had to drive her. Turned 50 today, so getting the Stang out helps get over the hump, so to speak!

November 3rd 2009 was the last time I drove it. Took it to a Toys-4-Tots car show. With the record amounts of snow we have had here in southeast PA, I won't be driving it anytime soon as its snowing now, and they are predictiing a HUGE storm in a week or so (2-4 FEET of snow)!!

I have not driven my stang since December. Hopefully I will be able to drive it again in late March or early April.

About a year. And that obviously has nothing to do with weather.
