Both of my mustangs are driven on a regular basis, I belive a car should be driven, not parked or trailered, Just mu opinion, others may differ, but then again, i dont have quite the weather that some of you have. But that my change soon as I am moving to the mountains of WV and I have heard the winters are a little rough there so I may be picking up a used 4wd truck. (Ford of course) But look for me to drive the Stang whenever there is not 3" of ice on the ground

Cool. I know that winter tire talk has been a big discussion for a while, but I think I'm going to wait it out and see how the BFG's handle in it before I make any decisions. Heck, I previously drove a civic and last winter drove a bunch of different cars and trucks. I usually left my 4wd truck in 2wd anyway just to be able to hang the rear-end out on an opportune corner. I'm still young.....might as well act like it. (I'll be saying that when I'm 70.)

I've never used the windshield wipers on mine. My 98 F-150 is my primary ride.

PS - I've had the Stang for almost 10 months and it has 2800 miles on it.

I have a beater truck I take to work, because too many people are getting their doors dinged and paint scratched. I drive it alot, but I don't like it to sit in a parking lot when I'm not around.

Yep, I drive a beater Buick (actually it is pretty comfy) to work and to the condo (125 mile round trip) most weekends. Funny you ask because I recently decided to sell my '65 Mustang and '68 Fairlane because I can never find time to drive them.

I too am blessed with pretty fair weather all year so I drive the Mustang to and from work most days, and my 72 Bronco when it rains. I drive my girlfriend's 99 Camry to the grocery store or anywhere else that might have a crowded parking lot.

I had a feeling most posters on here would rarely drive their stang in the rain or snow. I would like to get a pickup someday to keep miles down on the car and of course for all the other reasons one gets a pickup.

I drive a Saturn Vue everyday. Most of my prior toys and including my 05 Mustang GT were and are just fair weather weekend cars. If I didn't have something else to drive and a garage to keep them in I would not have owned so many toys. Boy I hope my wife doesn' t see this Post Ha, Ha. To me they are special and deserve the best. I have owned my 05 GT since Thanksgiving Day weekend of 04 and have approximately 5400 miles on it. You appreciate it even more when you get behind the wheel.
