Default Changing oil after storage?



Keep the Camry. I had always heard that Mustangs were difficult in snowy conditions, so I kept my Honda around for when the weather is bad and don't regret it a bit.</P>


At first I drove my Mustang a bit when there was light snow, and while it was tricky it was manageable. Then when we hit about 2 inches and it started icing up it was a nightmare to drive.Most cars would be able to drive down the street with no problem, but my Mustang would slide every which way (even at around 10 MPH). Getting started on a slick surface was tough, and driving up an icy freeway offramp was nearly impossible. It doesn't help that I have performance tires instead of all-season tires, but after one day ofbad snowI had to garagethe Mustangand go back to the POS Honda.</P>


That's OK though, the car will be better for it in the long run, and I won't have to worry about wrecking it.</P>

hehe thanks for the advice guys well looks like the 92er will have ot last a bit longer now shes been sooo faithful for soo long, i swear this thing will never die, still original transmission, engine and even stock hubcaps baby ! i thought there would be an off chance that it would be alright to stick winter tires on a stang and it would be decent to drive but it doesnt seem like it. im just sitll jealous that my dads g35 still holds well on thick snow with his stock all seasons grrrrr ahh well
