Get some snow tires and you'll be fine. its a night and day difference between all season and snow tires. I've made it through three winters so far here without getting stuck.

I've got Michelin X-ice Xi2s and theyre amazing.

You think?
It snowed in Baghdad and Athens last year and in Nice (French Riviera) this year...
You Vegas boys are next, ask Al Gore.

This is the reason why I bought a 02 FX4.....

I never quite understood why people would have a mustang as their only car if they live in an area that gets substantial snow fall. Yeah, snow tires help a lot, but you're still polishing a turd. It might look a bit better, but it still stinks.

My solution?



The snot rocket. Little, yellow, different.

Funnily enough I don´t get what the big deal is. The only time I really ever had an issue was last years super-whopper. The other times I got out and going just fine with all seasons no less. Before, during, and after the storms.

Plenty of BMW´s suckin´ it in ditches, as well as 4x4´s and SUV´s because they think because they have a bit more traction to get started moving they´re not subjected to the same laws of physics everyone else is. I just give ´em my Pope-mobile wave as I pass by them all.

I mean seriously, 20 inches, that beater ain´t going anywhere either.

I´d take this car out on purpose so long as it´s not a complete snow in. Empty parking lots + Snow = Fun

Car-skiing! I´m calling rights to that one btw. Like Drifting.

All of your superior driving skill + the best winter tires money can buy + just the right amount of weight in the trunk - that ******** that just rearended you because he's... a ******** = kicking yourself in the azz for not owning a beater

Now THAT, I can get traction on/with.

Isn´t there a relay/fuse box back there as well that can get damaged with using bags and such? Gotta search that out now. Damn, can´t find it.

Might have been another model year that had it, but I seem to recall a thread where someone found out their counter-weights caused damage/short in a relay box housed somewhere back there, drivers side near rear perhaps? I´d just be cautious throwing in counter-weights back there myself.

I keep reading about people with stock all seasons getting around in snow.

After 1 winter I gave up and couldn't figure out how people were getting around.

My volvo with bald all seasons + open diff did better than my stang with new all seasons + LSD

I ended up parking my stang and bought a 4x4 beater

I guess you do what you gotta do. On my second winter with Dunlop Signature all seasons. A local bowling ally doesn't salt their parking lot, so I spend most of my free time in the winter doing this.

Unfortunately it's very easy to end up looking like this this.

My hats off to you guys trying to drive these things in the winter. Its not even an option where I live. My house sits at nearly 8000' of elevation. I've got a 2010 Xterra 4x4 with some 32" all-terrains for when it gets bad out there... the Mustang lives in the garage when its anything but dry.
