Yes it is still a wile but i was wondering what do you guys that have salted roads do in the winter if you dd your 5.0 to keep the salt off and keep it from rusting?

no way to keep the rust off unless you wash it every time you get back from driving and i mean wash! like lift the car up and spray EVERYTHING. Best bet is to find a cheap beater, i dd'd mine for 1 winter and then said f this and bout a saab better gas milage and better tracktion in winter conditions

That's when I'm glad we have beaters.

ya up untill you total your mustnag or slide off the road, or are late to work....hmm i think i did all of those with in 1 winters worth of driving my mustang in the snow! real fun! lol

all you guys with beaters are lame. you can't take driving these things every day! just kidding. it's actually better to have something else for the winter if you live in a snowy climate. i've gotten mine stuck a few times in the snow. i've slid sideways, and did 180s in the snow, went off roads, gotten stuck. it sucks. thats why i have an f-350 i take.

Its my only car, it doesnt snow too bad where i am at, and its all highway, which penndot, suprisingly does a good job keeping clear... and I wash it every week to keep the salt off it...

I made it through last winter on 50% tread left summer tires... this year I have new all season tires... only got stuck once, in a parking lot..

and a vert gets hella cold really fast, but i muscle up, extra coat and crank that heater up...

If salt was that big of a deal, all cars would be rusted out(but it does suck, I know). Just keep you car washed, then if it starts to rust, fix it ASAP.

Just drive the CSVT
