Mine is my daily driver, so it sees rain, sun, sleet, snow (granted i can get it outta the driveway or school parking lot). It also isnt kept in a garage (my moms 07 mountaineer gets that), so its in the rain no matter what. You just can drive like a moron in the rain.

if you keep your car in the garage, keep it there when its raining. just because its not a cobra doesnt mean its a piece of sh**. their only a couple of thousand more any way (its not a lambo, or ford gt) i had to drive mine in the rain the other day i didnt want to but it was going to the performance shop. i have a 98gt and dont care what anyone says if its not nice out, it doesnt come out.

Enless you have a mustang that is rare then keeping the miles off is more trouble than its worth!
10 years from now... If i tried to sell mine and it had lets say 110k miles and you only had 20k miles you maybe possilby get $1-2,000 more than me [&:]
With all the new mustangs putting out so much more power noone is going to want ours! For example.. If you could afford a new edge would you buy one of the non PI gts? Hell no!

While it may not be an investment in terms of that car going up in value, I do love my GT with 13k miles on it. I like to keep it nice.

RE: Driving in the rain?
I drive mine everyday. 84,000 miles on the clock and counting. Why own a nice car and only drive it on weekends? I like to enjoy the car and I've done my mods with daily driving in mind (no really power mods). I'll wait till I own a classic muscle car to garage it and have it sit around.
