I'm 100% confident that the stang will be just fine with our 8month winters...

I do know I'm having the car Fluid-Filmed every year. That stuff is amazing. In the past I've done my trucks myself just driving the front up on a rock, but this car will have to go up on a lift to get treated.
thanks and yes snow tires make all the difference.

for the stripes I bought the passenger side fender ones (that was my fault) $280 was cost on them!! ouch. the hood I'm going to try and warranty as they are bubbling but I'll probably end up having to fix them we'll see what they say....

funny story. was visiting my dad who retired in florida. i was talking about how great the cars are there because they are so clean and no winter to wreck them. i said: all the crappy cars you see down here are probably from wi. no sooner said, then we pull up to a stop light with a crappy rusted POS and the PLATES WERE WI! we both laughed hard. i've been in fla in early september and it actually hurt to go outside. instant condensation on your skin and the sun felt like frost bite up here. but i digress...

Are the stripes aftermarket ? some are cheap and will crack after a year and some are expensive but guarenteed for up to 10 years.

So I'm ready for this weather to be over with as well. Bavaria is the armpit of Germany. Once you drive an hour out from here the weather is beautiful. Last week it was snowing, then sleeting, then snowing again, then freezing rain, then snowing while sunny, then raining, then super cold. This was in one day. When I woke up the next morning on my cot, in my tent, the wind was about to blow the tent away it was 9 degrees. It has been holding steady at around 30 the last couple of days. I can't get traction till I hit 4th with the summers. They are bricks till it's at least 50 out.

This is why I still can't drive my mustang (keep in mind this jeep has 4" lift and 33's). Took this picture back in november, we've got 3x more snow since then. Hopefully another 2-3 weeks and enough of it will be gone to drive it again

Snow Here

Well my Mustang revised ETA is 3/28 and of course it snowed 9.5 inches here in St. Louis over the weekend. Needless to say the car won't be coming home this week but I am anxious to see it. To bad it got snowed on before I even took delivery.
