It's been chilly here also but we always get a spell like this then indian summer hits.

I am planning on driving her until the first snow forecast, then she is hibernating.

No hibernation for our DD. Got in the 17" silver Bullitts from Haney Motorsport, and will be mounting up a set of Pirelli Winter Carver tires for the snow. Also will again be adding about 300 lbs in the trunk for better traction.

No Hibernation, but I don't drive it in the snow or when there is any salt residue on the road - fortunately, in most winters it doesn't snow too often and why punish the stang when my Jeep 4x4 is far better in the snow than any mustange ever could be.
