I love watching Barrett-Jackson. I think it is televised starting on Thursday thru Sunday this coming week. Heck, I was watching some replay of 2007 yesterday. Karen and I don't watch Nascar like we did either. We kinda lost interest. I've be a big Mark Martin fan and she a Rusty Wallace fan. Now Martin is driving Chevy's no less.
Yeah Martin going to Chevy is like..... uh..... me driving a Scumaro. Just shouldn't happen LOL!

Hi.
This is Robert from Lincoln Park, Mi. which is just minutes from Detroit. Home to the Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and another so-called professional team we won't talk about. I was wondering how many of you guys regularly drive your Mustang in the winter months? I have neighbors who work at the Mazda plant in Flat Rock, Mi. where the Mustang is built. The Mustang is one of the few auto related sucess stories coming from this area recently.

Well the name of the steel mill is a long story:
I work at I/N Tek (owned orginal by Inland/Nippon Steel)
Inland was brought by Mittal Steel who is buying up all the steel mills he can. So actually we are owned by Aceital Mittal or something like that. But only 50%, Nippon still owns the other 50%. We can work all the OT we want. It is super clean Computer run Finishing Mill. I do vacation coverage for the Locomotive/ Overhead RC Crane oerations. The rest of the time I sit at a desk and cruise the "net" looking for Mustang parts or talking on the forums.

Hahahha, warrenty schmarrenty...... I can't speak for everyone but I knew dang well what I was getting myself into when adding mods. I can say that I had alot of mods done (BEFORE THE BLOWER) and still had warranty work performed- but I really was expecting them to deny it. My car has not been back to the dealer since the blower install and unless it's some kind of weird electronic problem, I don't plan on taking it back. I would bet that they'd deny a power window motor failure because I'm blown now.
By the way to answer your original question, I drove mine for 2 winters but now I pretty much won't drive it in the snow- it's a handful on wet surfaces. Mine is an '06 bought in late August of 05 and just turned 16k miles.

Hi Robert,
Well to the Midwest Forums. You will have to watch all the other guys here besides me...they are kind of weird. Anyway my Stang is a daily driver except on really sloppy days. Don't be a stranger around here!!

I don't drive mine in the winter either and warranty, ha what is that. I have actually been lucky mine has never needed warrenty work. (knock on wood) I do need to have my gas gauge fixed now. Since it is almost out of warranty I will probably take it in April to have it fixed. When they see the laughing gas I'm sure they will void mine.

Yeah, we're all weird but Scott is ok.... that is a classic example of "Old Indian Dude" Scott sending smoke signals-

Well Ben...the cam install is a 4 hour job and I would think they could do 2 of them in one day. Call Dave @ Brenspeed and find out. He is the shop foreman and who I made my appointment with. Give him a call!!!! And if it goes into overtime we can just stay in Pierceton, Indiana for the night!!!! But you need to get on the list!
