second that^^..find a garage, dry shed, storage unit, anything thats covered and dry...ive seen more than a few threads on here of people sayin they took theres out for a spin and ended up curbin it, puttin it into a pole, ditch , another car lol...its just not worth the risk..plus depending on where you live...road salt can be a bi***...it will just eat away at your nice car..and thats why mine never sees a winter road...and dont think it ever has really by looking underneath..no rust FTW

I am real careful in the winter, all season tires, driving slow, having a buddy drive me if its real bad, the day I can afford a second car and a second car's insurance, will be the day the mustang gets to hibernate... well, unless I move south

careful with storage units though we had a guy bring his gt500 in after he took it out of storage. Some kind of animal got under the hood and ate though a bunch of wires while it was in storage
