Well folks... After seeing this on the forecast, I might have to give her one final detail today before storage.

A sad day indeed.

 

That's a shame, I sure hope you like the snow! Do you do snow things like ski?
Personally I couldn't do it. 5 day forecast here is high's of 80 and low's of 50.

 

My winter's are in storage, ready to go on in the next few weeks.
The only time my pony doesn't get driven in winter is when the snow is too high to go anywhere.

 

I hear ya, spent this weekend doing one last detail and getting ready to store...will need one last trip into town to top off the tank and get a couple more miles on her before shutting her down till next April....seems like spring just got here!!!! My dad was right, time sure does speed up as you get older....

 

Geezus! Where the hell you live?!?! I will be lucky to see 70's this week! I want the cold!

 

This!

No such thing as winter this far south. lol

South Texas winters consist of days starting at 30 and ending around 80. If you're lucky, you may stay below 70. lol

 

Mines a DD .....all winter. So Saturday I tried my snow tires I had mounted on some GT 17 rims I picked up. Snows were from my old mazda 6. 215\50 17 vs the 225\60 17 that came with mustang. About 4 inches different in the diameter which is about 12 inches in the circumference......wow like dropping in a set of gears. 2nd gear rubber like mad (this is a auto) yes I know the rubber composition is quite different and they looking funny because they don't fill the tire well but the sound of 4-5 feet of rubber banging into 2nd gear is sweet to the ear

 

I feel for you man. I'm putting winter tires on the L'il Foc tonight just in case that weather comes up here.

 

^^BINGO!!!
I care too. I pay way too much money for my Roush to drive in the snow or cold weather where traction could be an issue. To some a car is, "just an appliance", if you will. Not for me, I love cars/trucks. Especially my car and truck.

 

Taking a car out of storage makes the spring season so much more special.

 

 

Thanks for reminding me... I filled her up for the last time today. I think Marilyn is done for the season as soon as they lay salt down.

Timbuktu Iowa, that's where


Yeah still no winter tires on our dailies... I don't want to prematurely wear the snow tires. I think this snow fall tomorrow is not going to stick. I did opticoat the rims on all cars tho.

Preach it brotha!!!!

 

I need to get some Opticoat so I can put some armor on her.

 

I need to get some too

 

I am also in the same boat as a few others, and use my mustang as a DD, so it sees all weather.
Anyone recommend any winter tires? And what wheels to use also? Never purchased any before and any help would be appreciated.

 

Yep... For once, the weatherman are correct in their forecast… Not sure if you can see it in the first picture but in the second picture you can see the snowflakes falling and on my spoiler on the Acura. What a very sad day indeed. If they do lay salt down, Marilyn is done for the season.

 

Sad, sad, sad...the weather down here is just now becoming ideal for superchargers, and eight days from today I'm dropping my Shelby off to have long tubes put on, a pulley swap done and a Lund tune installed. Couldn't imagine not driving this thing all winter. What a nightmare. I'd move.

 

Idk, I feel the 2-4 months of not driving the stang, makes it feel great when you drive it again. Kinda like the feeling you had when you first got it.

 

I still get that feeling every time I get in it. That's just me, but I still smile when I turn it on, look over the interior, listen to it warm up for a few seconds, then pull it out of the garage and drive down the street. I've had it for over a year now, and no other vehicle I've ever owned has kept that showroom-floor feeling for me like this. I'd think about it all winter if I didn't drive it. I'd also think about the tires getting flat-sided, the fuel going bad, rodents nesting in it, etc.

 

It was 25 this morning when I got up....and your stuff is heading this way...forecast has snow/rain mix by this afternoon..I hate winter.....and it hasn't even arrived yet....I knew I should have filled up the car Sunday!!! Friday looks good so hopefully one last run and then under the cover till spring....
