Hi Tom!
Too funny you post this. I fired up the beast today after work! Felt so good. I was thinking about it all day at work.
We got about 6 inches of snow here. I heard you guys got bombed with snow. How did you make out? IS your back still doing well. I hope so.

Since the car fits the '10-'14 range of this thread too, here it is here too, with the new wheels installed front AND rear

You lucked out....you deserve it after this time last year.

Yeah, I got hammered Tony....more than 2'. But temps have been above freezing and it's slowly disappearing. Next week might be in the 50's for a couple of days. I've been running my Mustang every few days. I hate driving my Fusion....it's such an old man car!!!

I'm hoping that higher temps and a few days of rain washes the salt away and if it stays dry I'm keeping my fingers X'd for some drive time in Feb.

My back is OK...a bit sore after shoveling but it was just muscle aggravation...cleared up right away. Thanks for asking.

I thought it was bad to regularly run the car when it's in storage. The dry starts, the not reaching operating temperature, etc

Yep. I stopped doing that this season. After advice from several pros/tuners, etc... all I do now is "nothing". Keep battery charged, then wait till spring to fire her up. Full tank and Stabil before storage is all she needs.

Thanks and yeah, they'll get some love soon, but the whole car is filthy, haven't had a chance to wash it when it went into the garage about a month ago when the DSS driveshaft crapped out on me, so it's sitting in the garage, dirty, with the battery tender hooked up to it and fancy-shmancy new wheels and tires on it.
Everything dirty.

This will give you an idea of how dirty she is ... still nowhere near as dirty as the owner's mind, but pretty dam dirty

Yeah,...we deserve no snow this year after lat year. We got hammered badly.
You guys got a ton of snow. I'm glad it's melting for you guys though. That's a lot of snow all at once. I can;t wait to drive my car as well. Fired er up yesterday to get the mechanics and tires moving and then back onto the battery tender.
Stay safe bro. Let's hope for a early spring/summer!

I drove mine

Took it out to dinner with the GF, felt awesome to drive it again, to spin the tires, hear the exhaust, hear the Whipple whine ... etc.


And yes, she's still dirty, lol

Lucky you Gabe! Forecast is winter storm watch tomorrow. 8" expected. Marilyn stays hibernated another 2 months maybe. Hate the Midwest.
