anyone want to share the winter blues? First post

i figured it was time for my first post, and while I know lots of you are lucky and live in the warmer parts of the country, some of us are less fortunate.

I got my 2005 SC with 6700 miles on it on September 7th at Freeway Ford in the Minneapolis area, i enjoyed it while i could, and by November 10th, and 10,100 miles it was time to let her sleep through the wisconsin winter. I find myself walking out to the garage several times a day to admire, and sometimes i find myself getting in the drivers seat and wish the snow would go away, what do you guys do to stay sane during these oh so cold months?

btw check out my pics and avatar

Welcome to the forum. If there's snow outside, I still open up the garage door and fire it up.

I take that time to mod my car and get it ready to be a beast in the spring. Good use of the downtime.

Since they heavily salt the roads here in maryland, my car stays in the garage for most of the winter. It's fun to look at and I have a hard time putting the cover on for that reason.

Nice car by the way!

We don't get any snow here in Alabama, but we do get lots of rain and at times ice. People drive like maniacs as it is down here (worse than when I lived in DC, Maryland or Mass.), but add in a little precipitation and forget it...car stays in the garage...

Welcome, cool car. We bought our daily driver T-Bird from Freeway Ford in the Twin Cities, but we bought our Saleen from Campbell Ford in Niles, MI. They were able to get my wife the exact car she wanted, so we went there. If you ever go back to Freeway, feel free to make a small detour to Rochester and stop in to say "Hi"!!
