Hello everyone. I have a 1995 Mustang Convertible. I currently live in Ohio. After some Job issues I have to move to Michigan. As you may know, it gets very cold in the winter. Usually I would store the car during the winter and drive my second car but because of money issues I had to sell the second one. Now, as the Mustang being my only source of transportation, I was wondering if it would be safe to drive it in the winter here. I was thinking about getting a hardtop for it. To anyone who answers here, thanks a ton.

dude just buy a beater for a few hundred. a had top for your car would prob cost more

 

I live in Ohio and I drive the pony in the winter. Even did so when I was away at college up north near Cleveland where it got cold and snowy as can be.

The only concern you should take into consideration is the top-- but if you park it in the garage or under some sort of cover, the top should endure less damage.

 

be a man ride with the top down.......really, buy a cheap import if you can...snow tires might be a must

 

If you have to drive the stang then you might wanna go with somw snow tires and make sure you got alot of weight in the stang for better traction

 

hey just buy some weight bags in the trunk. i have a 94 mustang and drove on bald tires last winter not fun. my friend just crashed his in the snow he has a 02. becarful

 

BUY A BEATER SAVE A STANG!!!

 

Yeah, some sandbags in the trunk is a must, plus some good tires.

 

Winter tires are a must for RWD cars in the snow. Ive lived in minnesota my whole life so i know a good amount about snow Also if you wanna fork out the money for a battery relocation kit to the trunk that would add some perm weight to the rear wheels. Otherwise ied throw a few sand bags in the back and just keep the throttle down a bit when the roads have snow on them, otherwise when te roads are cleared it isnt bad at all. Hey on teh up side snow is fun for messing around in parking lots and such with out killing your tires!

 

I would definately buy a beater. I live in western Wisconsin, and it is bad enough driving around here. Some parts of michigan get a heck of a lot more snow than here. If its not in your budget for a beater, i would definately get some snow tires. By what I've seen, the bridgestone blizzaks are some nice tires. Also, adding weight to the rear will help, but dont overload it. Too much weight in the rear will give you good rear traction, but it will take the weight off of the front tires somewhat, and can make steering worse.
