im from chicago and in the winters when it snows i litteraly cant drive it and my gusse it thats since urs in s/c it will be impossible. i do take of my summer rims/tires and throw back on the factory rims and winter tires tho so they dont rust.

I remember last year watching the Colts/Pats playoff game at my boys house. When I left there was a little snow/ice on the road. My car would not get traction, I let the clutch out real slow and gave no gas and was going sideways. I was only 2 miles from home. I had to cross a main road and it was scary as sh*t, going sideways and very slow. I went 10 mph home. I won't lie I was scared sh*tless. Be careful

i live here in west des moines Iowa and we get some fair amount of snow here and there and it sucked driving my 98 stang a couple years ago and that was just a v-6. but i could get around. i really only had trouble while it was snowing at the time or if there was some heavy pack snow on the ground it kind of sucked. only once every i couldnt go anywhere but that was because we had 2 inches of ice....but no one else could go anywhere either. so yea...no problems really.

we'll see this winter lol. I live in West Lafayette IN and we tend to get some ****ty snow/ice mixes here. Last year we had a 17" snowfall over night which was fun. This is will be my first winter with stang up here as my dd. I'm letting my mom drive my lifted exploder till she gets her taurus fixed.

So, we'll see and hopefully I just won't have to travel much this winter (I can now walk to my new job )

i drove last year in the winter with no heat

got real sick of getting stuck on hills

having to get out and push the car and then jump back in it just to get it to move sucks too

I drove mine one winter, it was pretty bad until i got a set of snow tires for it. After that the thing was a beast and was pretty good in the snow.
