All the people that have snow all winter long, do you drive your stangs in it?
Just wondering for the people that actually get snow in the winter, if they drive there mustang in it. Just put on winter tires or what? How do they drive in the winter? I'm going to school next year and i will be living in Calgary, and i will need my mustang to get me to school everyday.

My stang is definitely drivable in the winter but I have '97 Saturn, so I just drive that and save the stang from the onslaught of salt.

I live just outside Minneapolis, and we had a pretty snowy and cold December, even for here!- I have a completely stock 07 GT manual with 4,500 miles , no weight in the back and stock 17" Pirellis.....
I only had one problem where I nearly got stuck - had to stop while trying to merge into traffic, uphill and turningright in about 8inches of chopped up slush. If I hadn't had to come to a complete stop (the person in front of me deided they had to!) I would have been fine... butsaying that it took maybe 15 seconds of slipping/sliding to get enoughtraction to get out of theslush, and then I was fine...
I actually found the Mustang to be a good DD in the winter, as long asyou adapt your driving to suit the conditions... but know she is tucked up for the winter - my wife decided that she wanted me to drive something'bigger and safer' in the crappy weather, ans she knew how much I hated the abuse the paint was taking from all the salt and crap they put on the raods here- so$1500 later I have a '97 AWD 5.0 Explorer for the winter and wet days in the summer
Now the Mustang is REALLY going to be babied
