Don't drive like all the idiots on here that claim they were going 15 mph and the car got away from them

I've drove in snow, ice and rain. There is no reason the car should walk away from you. If you're losing control get the **** off the gas. One you're off the gas the road doesn't know if you have a FWD, AWD, or RWD[&:]

If you have a mustang and need to drive it in the winter, then you don't have enough money to own a mustang. All sports cars need to be parked for the winter! A sand bag will be okay, but I would park it!

Dont drive a high hp mustang (thats almos an oxy-moron ) in the snow. If you have to, get good snow tires, sandbags in the trunk, and drive slower than an 80 year old.

Thats almost an oxymoron; maximas have more power these days.



Add sandbags/saltbags it kinda helps. I can't even let me clutch out without spinning.
