my first car was a 1990 lx in highschool in dutchess county NY, bald all season tires and inexperience i wised up quick. i cant think of a better way to teach some one to drive a car in bad weather then giving him something not really meant to handle it and seeing how and what he does with it. i went sideways alot but never hit anything even in very heavy snow.
now down here in NC i laugh when i see people tearing at the mention of snow when 85% drive 4x4 trucks i mean comon its a dusting

Great advice everyone! I honestly, truly appreciate it. I am still undecided but you all have cleared up some of my misconceptions and given me much to think about. I have seen some good deals on mustangs that include snow tires and am excited to take it for a test drive! I'll be ready to purchase within the next couple of weeks but plan on taking my time choosing..my 2nd choice was a ford escape or explorer..soo i'll have much debating to do! Once again thanks everyone!
Like everyone is saying, snow tires are a must. My mustang, before I modified it, was used all year round in Buffalo, a city famous for the amounts of snow it gets. Obviously it won't work too well with a lot of snowfall (1ft plus on roads), but if your area is generally plowed it should be just fine!
Yup 4 SNOW tires makes all the difference.

the snow/ice doesn't f with the top? I'm thinking about all the times I had 1/4" of ice on my car, but at the same time, Ford can't expect everyone with a vert to cover it up every winter.
