Mixed emotions, I trade my skis with the Mustang. But yes I miss the rumble, and the 1-2 shift, and the little kids going "Woaaah look at that Mustang!".

I have not even seen it since December (stored away from home)... but I have parts sitting here driving me crazy to install

I finally got to take my car out for a ride yesterday morning, and will probably take it out for a bit this morning too. It has been sitting since late October.

It is supposed to be in the upper 40's tomorrow, so I may actually get mine out after 4 plus months of hibernation. Just not sure if the salt is 100% cleared from the roads as we need a good rain to get things cleaned up.

It is 57 and sunny here in KC today. You bet I drove her! Gotta watch the potholes, though. It has been a tough winter on the pavement. Gonna drive home with the windows down and the Who cranked up!!!

Garage Grand Prix

Drove mine back and forth about 4 feet in the garage. Lots of engine revving and loud music too! Salt, salt, go away...

Started right up after sitting for a month too.

I'm embarrassed to say that it's been so long that when we took her out this weekend, the battery was dead! Probably 2 or 3 months. A combination of terrible weather/snow along with the fact that the hood is grey has driven a lack of interest in driving it. I'm sure that will change as the weather gets nicer and nicer

I got to drive the 'Stang again yesterday! That's twice in the last week! Of course, the rain is coming back, but this coming weekend may be clear again, so I will be keeping my eye on the weather this week and keep my fingers crossed!

Same as a couple of you have said, clouds are gone now and the sun is melting off the snow

Supposed to rain this weekend and most of the salt will be washed off of the road and then she'll be coming back out to play

I just started driving my stang again after 2 months while fixing the front bumper. Was rocking a white mini van around town the whole time. I was stuck listening to radio for 2 months to boot.
