Winter Plans for your Mustang?
What will your winter plans be for your Mustang? One of my old coworkers told me that we will have a worse winter than we did last year. Mind you I live in Western NC so we got 10" of snow around February. And I no longer have my tC so my dad will be the designated driver since he has a Rav4. I have my Mustang and my mom has a 2003 Porsche Boxter. She tried to drive it once in the snow. lets just say she got stuck and luckily a nice old couple let her park her car in their driveway.
In short my car will be garage bound unless its nice out.

I will drive it as long as I can, but once the snow flys it will become a garage queen. Last year put it away the Saturday after Thanksgiving and did not get it out until 3rd week of March. It is really painful to have it sitting there all winter. But, I will stick to my Jeep GC for winter driving. Would not want to put this baby into the ditch, or worse have some idiot slide into me. Plus the de-Icer, salt, and road sand they use here is not good, especially when you plan to keep it for a while.
There she is for her last long winters nap. But, really don't want to think too much about it now. It is time to drive and enjoy while the weather is nice!

Added weight to the trunk and good all season or snow tires help.
A winter beater helps also. Maybe a Rav 4.

His car wasn't good last winter. Since his tires were basically without any tread. But he recently got new tires on it. He thought we were going to take it to Destin but we will be taking my Mustang with the top down at the beach. But its during Shark Week. Yikes! I hope I don't see Great Whites. If I do then you will see me on here freaking out

Oh man I don't know... I'm not sure if the Boss can drive through another winter down here... last year, we almost go a 1/8"!! If that happens again, I'll have to leave the TC on. That'll probably fix my issues

Mine will a garage queen during the winter too, except for those unusual late fall/winter days where we get a couple of unusually warm and sunny days here in NJ. It'll come out then, top down.
I lease a '12 Fusion SEL V6. I take care of it, but I'm no where near as **** about it as I am my '14 GT. It's a great car, perfect in all weather.
