Do you drive your stang in the winter?
Do you drive your stang in the winter?
Or is it garaged? This is my first brand new Mustang and I'm planning on keeping it in the stable for most of the winter. I drove my 02 GT for a partial winter and it was a PITA! I'm going to buy a winter beater, not totally a pos, but nice enough to get around and re-sell in the spring. $2,500 is my tentative budget. I'm thinking a decent used Exploder, I mean Explorer or something similar also 4wd. What do you all do? Or do you just throw some Blizzaks on?
I rough it with my '02 GT and use my mom's 4WD on the really bad days. Notch stays in the garage.
Seeing it's a brand new roush, I'd definitely find something with 4WD or AWD as long as the salt in on the roads. My sister's escape is awesome in the snow.

Texas could never survive winter.

When I drove my 02 I had to put sand bags in the trunk. Didn't help that I lived on a small hill either, took forever trying to make it up it at times. Now where I live the back roads get drifting snow bad. It was nothing for the AWD Fusion Sport I had. I'm finding tons of used Explorers reasonably priced, I'm just afraid of trans issues with them. Any reccommendations?
get a used subie awd - cheaper and more efficient- explorer is gonna cost some money for repairs bro.
