I daily mine as well, 15000+ miles a year. Its a mustang not an antique, people that never drive their cars **** me off. Keep the stock springs and upgrade the shocks/struts and itd probably ride really nice as well, even with H&R supersports if I back the D-specs out it rides pretty nicely just not very optimal for going into the corners.
But I still think you could find a better DD especially if you see a lot of snow, Ill probably catch some flack for this one but you can get WRX's for less than what that mustang is going for.

My buddy has a WRX bone stock, And i'll tell you best investment for crappy snow ridden areas. He says got it for "year round fun!"

Personally nowadays as a daily driver I would just like something that is comfortable, has some nice options and it relatively good on gas. Before I didn't care much.

the big reason i am wanting to keep the truck is because its seriously the most comfortable vehicle ive ever ridden in...loaded with every option...and its decently quick.... gas is killing me...im gonna keep the truck, so no new mustang...i got a new cell phone and got rid of all my data packages, and i cancelled my movie channels, and im gonna stop eating out as much...that should balance out the gas issue...we will see!
still saving money since im about $1500 short of my car running lol...should have that covered by january though
the guy with the black gt i posted in here was gonan put tires on it, and was ready to trade me...but i couldnt do it lol, i love this truck

damn some of you guys pay a LOT in insurance...
If you really want a GT to daily drive with a 5sp, look into an older 4.6.....they're cheaper, just as reliable and slower, so they're probably easier to drive in the snow *joke*
