My love is in the barn until better days. I am starting to really realize what I had driving my truck around all winter taking 0-60 in 4 mins and half a tank of gas. But it is fun scaring the lights out of those people who feel like forcing their way in front of me with my airhorn.

I hear ya. Going on three weeks myself and it looks like it'll be a couple more before the streets are clear of the snow and ice. Until then she's a garage queen.

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.
All day everyday! haha When people ask me how driving a Mustang in the snow is I just say, Fun!

Orlando, Florida is pretty good if you don't mind the bipolar weather all year and the tourists. Alot of nice straight,smooth roads.

Washed my wife's Jeep on the way home tonight (to get off all the salt) and fired up the Stang for the first time in over a week. She's hitting the road tomorrow! Snow's on the ground, but the roads are fine (can avoid the salt)...

Funny in that the Stang gets a LOT better milage than a bone stock Wrangler and am looking forward to not buying gas every 3 days!

Mine sits outside. Snow isn't the problem. it's the friggin SALT!

Sorry fellas. I'm from Cali so no snow here to worry about but if you guys think you got it bad, I had my left foot in a cast for 8 weeks after foot surgery and it wasn't strong enough to push in the clutch for another 4 weeks after that. I finally got back in the saddle a couple of weeks ago.
