Dont get me wrong. I love my car. It's just that I bought it to drive and enjoy. The more seat time I get, the more I "connect" with the machine. It's weird I guess, we have a.... bond.

I know man... But family always comes first, esp now that kids are pretty young. They need to be close to gramma and cousins for now. Mustang needs come second

My winter plans in a word = "donuts!"

If I still lived in Pennsylvania, I would cringe at the thought of exposing my GT to the rock salt. However, here in DFW, the only snow removal equipment is the sun, so on the rare occasion we get some snow its off to the parking lot to spin the rear end around.

Of course, the '65 NEVER sees snow (or rain, even)- and we also have an F150 if things get really bad.

Dang cold snap. Pulled out of the garage today and instantly got a low tire pressure warning. So much for keeping my summer tires on until thanksgiving. It's going to be 45 degrees for a while here.

I'm gonna get a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3's and drive through the snow all winter then get some salt neutralizing solution and hit the undercarriage on e a month so that my Recaros don't fall out while I'm driving.

I was hoping to get another month with her, but snow/rain showers and generally dreary weather are in the forecast with highs in the 30's. So she has been washed, waxed, and she is currently parked on her bed in the garage. Car cover will be going on this weekend. Boo for Wisconsin weather.

I'll do that. I usually don't start threads but I can for that. I'll get the dyno results and post them too. I'm interested to see what the dyno shows for the stock pulls, too.

Anyone recommend any winter tires? And what wheels to use also? Never purchased any before and any help would be appreciated.
This is a pretty comprehensive thread about winter tires - best one on this board: https://themustangsource.com/f821/wi...ghlight=winter
