Just sitting under cover for winter waiting for salt free/sand free and ice free roads
Got the car in May of 2012 and still haven't eclipsed 12k and 5k of that total was in 10 days that first year was heading to the east coast and back... I hang my head in shame that I have not enjoyed the car more
Too busy all summer riding the motorcycles..... 90k on this in 7 seasons
Oh you must live close. I recognize Rosemount pic. And with the trailer hitch to. Same here.
I drove mine through some Massachusetts winters and it did fine driving-wise. Actually I like it better than front wheel drive, it's no fun at all spinning the front tires.
But I couldn't stand the sight of it covered with salt or burried under a pile of snow, so now I drive a Camry in the winter.
Mustangs in Winter!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhh my eyes!!!!
Lol, while people say I love my Jeep in the winter, I say I have even more fun with my Mustang in the winter!
I have Blizzaks on mine, during the big blizzards we had in the past, I threw some extra weight in the trunk. I have a good sense of what the car is capable of. Drive it slowly and easy and I can get around just fine, as long as the snow is not higher than my ground clearance, lol. And, if I wanted to have some fun, I just mash on the pedal and let the car throw me around a bit!
I wish it would snow more in NYC. Only thing that sucks is the salt, seriously, sometimes there's more salt than snow on the ground here. Plus, I like to smile at other drivers who gives me awkward or dirty looks.

I believe our modern Mustangs will handle salt just fine. I usually try to rinse it off when I can, but temps are below freezing till Wednesday here. You can bet she will be getting a nice wash then.

Yep, mine stood up to it just fine. I would wash it whenever I got a chance, like you say. There is a little rust and corrosion on the underside but not much and not bad at all. Definitely not like back in the day when they melted away to a pile of rust flakes in a year or two.
But it still kills me to see it all covered with that stuff.
Haha mine doesn't see winter. Pulled out of the garage long enough to take a pic

LOL you guys... why you keep making me cringe?
hehe... kidding. I am impressed you are all driving them in snow. I'd be too scared. But really, I just don't want dirt getting on my car. LOL. Real reason.

If it wasnt a Ford worth 45k then maybe id agree
But honestly, the car serves me, i dont serve it. If i need to drive it in winter, i dont really care, its made of aluminum, wont rust. It can be detailed when it needs to be. No biggie

LOL... what's up Alex! long time bud.
Yeah, I've got a couple beaters for winter. I find no joy in driving a 700hp rwd car in winter - especially when I can't use the power anyways. I'll save it for when the tires can grip and I can rip it.

Lmao for sure, that would be awful. Even a stock GT can be a handful in deep snow.
Temps soared into the low 40s F today, so she got a good rinse. If it stays warm tomorrow, I might try to do a real wash. I must have left a couple pounds of crud in the driveway when I was done.
