All the people that have snow all winter long, do you drive your stangs in it?

i drive mine on the days like what we have had in eastern iowa the last week when its nice and the snow is melting i have a 89 f150 4x4 that i drive mainly but can't resist taking the car out, to all the salt that just means you have to do a good job at celaning in the spring
i really more or less got the truck cause i drove the car in the first couple snow falls and it did fine esp with tcs but my driveway is pretty steep and last year i couldn't get up it last year with my ranger if the snow was deep enough and also for fear of other people

To answer the OP's question....DD here! I don't put any weight in the trunk and I'm driving on the stock 17" Pirellis - no problems. Second winter with it. Only gotten stuck once and that was just the end of last month because I parked it on a slight decline and I had to push it out.

I'm kind of torn because I hate seeing it all dirty and covered in salt and I'm afraid somebody is going to slide into me because they don't know how to drive in this stuff. But I need my Mustang fix every day! I can't help it. Love this car and man is it fun to drive in snow. I have a blast with it. When it's safe (no other cars or obstructions) I love to fishtail around corners or do donuts or whatever. Man it's a blast!

Year round. Even left the 18x9's & 18x10's on with Sumitomo HTR Z2's on it this winter. They seemed to do better than the stock tires did last winter and we had worse snow here in Chicago than we did last year.

Drive in bad weather... not a chance.


DD on the left. Mustang on the Right. A couple days ago I had it on the driveway when it was dry and let the engine get up to operating temp. then put it back in the garage. I'll drive it when the roads are dry and clear of salt. I don't even drive it in the rain in the summer if I can help it.
