Hello everyone! I'm Andy from Michigan. Great to be among other Mustang enthusiasts!

I just picked up a 2011 Mustang V6, AT in Grabber Blue. Since I am leasing the car, I've only dropped in a K&N filter. I wanted the 6Manual but one was not available within 70 miles of my home at the time. I really dig the color and how it really pops cruising down the road on a sunny day! Needless to say, I keep it super clean all the time. Love the looks of the body, the color, the hp AND the fuel economy! The interior blows away the camaro's and the challenger's. The transmission embarrases me from timt to time when I call upon it to suddenly overtake a slow-moving vehicle, as it often chooses the wrong gear, but I've resolved to go back to a manual trans on my next Mustang.

I have plans to drive it through the winter. I welcome any recommendations and advice about how to manage during the snow from those who have driven their 'stang thru the white stuff.

Welcome to TMS, there are quite a few of us here in MI. I also plan to drive my '10 thru the winter. I am not expecting too much problem though.

Welcome Andy!

Drive Slow, Expand your stopping distance... and have fun breaking it loose on slow turns!

I used to have a v6 auto and during the winter... I would literally drift around my subdivision in the middle on the night
