winters aren't like they used to be

i too am driving a notch as my DD

if the snow gets bad, snow tires do make a diff on the rears, it's very doable, the idea of getting it all salty sux, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and try to get a beater for next year. jump on the chance for a clean notch.

Yeah I don't know how people do it with a 5-speed in the snow...and gears [:@]. They have my respect!!
Eh, it's not that bad. I don't have the gears though, and i'm sure that makes it 20x's worse. As a matter of fact i'm willing to bet thatany mustang, 5 speed or auto, is a pain to drive in the snow.
With proper tires it's not that bad at all, some people make it a much bigger deal than it really is.
I dunno, mine went sideways when I idled out of my driveway during summer when it was raining. It's only done that twice though, both times was taking off in 2nd and neither one of the times did I even touch the gas.
