The 1st 2 winters my Stang was garaged but I lived in Kentucky at that time so I could drive her on those dry weekends. The 3rd winter I had her in storage outside of Chicago in a heated pole barn about 1 1/2 hours away from the burb I was living at so not only couldn't I drive her, I couldn't even look at her. Now, in Mississippi (don't ask) I can drive her most anytime. I feel your pain.

I swear it didn't start snowing more in TN till my x girlfriend moved here from Ohio last year! Damn yankees lol. She brought it with her. Needless to say we broke it off a year later and all she left me with this year is the curse of snow. Bitch! Only good thing about winter is hardly any miles are put on the Stang.

My sig pic says it all!! I'm with you on this....I can't wait till spring. I used to absolutely LOVE winter but now I've done a 180 and I can't wait for it to be over.

I do make to the best of it though. Donuts in empty parking lots and controlled fishtails around corners. I can't imagine NOT driving my stang in this crap. I'd have the biggest stang withdrawl imaginable.

You guys dont know how good you have it. My car has been garaged since mid nov and wont be out until april or may. It's been -10 to -40 here where I live for the past month and just warmed up to around 0 this past week. They just did the once a year plowing of most of the city and the drifts are 4-5 feet high so if you drive a car u cant see over them!!!

I KNOW!! Above average snow fall where I am in Sask.. These guys are upset at the fine dusting of snow on their cars. Mine is in my driveway in snow so deep that I cant open the doors to even sit in it and make vroom vroom noises. It blew in and drifted so fast that I didnt even have a chance to park it in my garage. Last year I didnt park it until early December, and I was hoping this year would be the same, but by mid November it was too bad to drive it anymore. If I had a camera Id take a pic of where it sits now to make all of you cringe. I cant even SEE my white Camaro its drifted so deep. But I finally bought some DD black bullitts to make it up to the mustang for having to endure a winter outside... A bit of snow wont hurt anything anyway.

My mustang is in a nice warm garage. I glance over at her from my couch. I ocassionally wipe her down with a micro fiber cloth. Which from doing so I've found a few scratch which looks to be from my salesman ring! I bought it with 3 miles. So if it wasn't the salesman when we wen't for a test drive then it was sat in by other people. BASTARDS!...ok I'm done.
