A normal 40-minute 22-mile drive home took 10 hours last night due to .375 inches of snow - that froze on contact. The school system had 3,000 overnight guests that went home this morning (students - all grades).

Anyway, with my car in first (it's an auto tranny) it dealt with the ice just as well as FWD cars - Hondas, etc. Use just under 2 gallons of gas - and even shut it down when stopped.

wow, nasty weather. I slapped snow tires on my car and I actually pass most fwd cars on the road. I'm not driving like an idiot, I just know the capabilities of my car.

yep, the 05 mustang is a proven performer even during the winter months. I have no fears of driving my GT in the winter, only thing I hate about it is keeping it clean. I've had it out driving in the snow quite a bit, and other then worrying about someone else sliding into it, haven't been worried yet.

I'm driving mine everyday in this P.O.S. state and haven't had any problems yet. I think I'm going to buy some Blizzaks next winter for the rear just to help out in the deep stuff.

We got hit with a storm on Wednesday. Car worked great on the ice and snow. I went to places where my 03 Vert GT had issues just to test it out.
