Default Winter Rat Thread

Hey All, I live in good ol' Syracuse, NY. Where the snow just won't stop. And all of us here have to deal without the stang for a good couple months out of the year. (i do know that some do drive the stang in the snow) Now me, being only 19, can't really afford a GOOD winter car, so I just wanted to know what everyone else was driving

ill start out by saying i rock a purple-ish 1997 Plymouth Neon 5 speed!

I'm at school in Ithaca (Cincy, OH native), and I'm driving the stang here. I just try to avoid using it when it's terribly snowy, but I did have a little incident with a curb that cost me a wheel, panhard rod, and alignment!

I bought me a beater truck for 1000 bucks to get me around. A 1990 Chevy Silverado. Runs great and no rust.

1994 Oldsmobile 88 LSS (most expensive & "sporty" version).
Before getting my Stang I actually thought it was pretty peppy and handled well, but now it seems as slow and lumbering as a friggin TANK...!
Still, I'm happy to drive it whenever it rains or snows......

Hey, 06stangGT, are you a student at SU? I've got a friend up there who says she sees a black stang around all the time, just curious if it's you. I think I'll be up there on Friday, and I'd love to hear the MACs if you're around!
