Hello from Montreal !
Hi there !
Spent most of my life in Europe, driving the finest sports car over here : The 911
Now living in Montreal, I'm driving the finest sports car in North America : The Mustang GT !!
Got it new in 2018 and using it as a daily, event during the Canadian Winter![Wink](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Have a great ride everyone !

Congrats on your 2018 GT. Just one small bit of advice, I would consider locating a second vehicle to use for the winter months as Mustangs are not very practical for driving in the snow due to being rear wheel drive. Anyhow, on a much lighter note, would love seeing some pics and also welcome to TMS

Regarding the winter, living on the Montreal Island, there is not so much snow . Actually, running those Michelin X-ICE3 with a limited slip differential is a HUGE fun. You just need a bit more space on the road ....

Well for those who choose to hold onto their S197 cars store them away for the winter to prevent road salt from eventually turning them into rust buckets, especially for those in the north east regions. Needless to say, it's the reason I still have my 2006 GT to this very day. Also, not everyone is quite as fortunate as others when it comes to trading in their Mustangs every 3-5 years. There's even quite a few on these forums who put away their S550 cars during the winter as well. Anyhow, for what it's worth, my wife and I use our SUV as the daily driver and the Mustang as our recreational/fun car during the spring/summer and early fall seasons.

I agree with M05... The Mustang is a great car, a real work of art, and very fun car to drive. Just not so much when the snow is deeper than the clearance of the car. It is tough sledding when you are pushing snow like a snow plow. Don't know much about Montreal, but I assume them occasionally get a blast of snow. So, I would highly suggest you look into a good real 4x4 SUV to use as your winter daily driver. Save the Mustang for those warmer months when the crappy roads (At least ours are bad and always under construction) are at there best. I would enjoy to hear more about you and your car. I would love to see pictures. Welcome to North America!

You're definitely a much better dude than I am, that's for sure lol. With all the freaking hills we have around here in addition to the road salt PA uses, I would never consider taking my Mustang out on our crappy roads during the winter months. On a lighter note, you were very fortunate that during the 12 years you owned your "06" that it was only the rear axle that ever saw any rust. With my luck, my car would've became a rust bucket within have that time lol.
