I know how you feel - I have my GT parked and have been driving my daughers V6 - and each nice weekend I feel the urge to unpack the GT. One of those days when Im feeling particularly weak it may get to see the street.

Yup, mine's "stored" for the winter. Covered in the driveway and winterized, and paying extremely reduced insurance. Can't wait to drive her in the spring.

Why would you have to stop driving your car in the winter????

(being a smartass, I live in Texas)

I drive mine every day This 40-60 degree Jan and Feb weather in STL has been an added bonus. I didn't get this car so it could sit in the garage. This car is my therapy after a hard day at work. Cars are meant to be enjoyed. Unless you live in a state where it snows all the time, I don't see why people keep them in the garage. Your not gonna make money off it.

I can't wait until mid april to get my GT out of the barn. I really miss driving it but will not subject it to a northern Alberta winter.

Mine is stored - every night I park it in the garage, and every morning I take it out and drive to work. I bought the car to drive not let it sit, and driving in snow is not a problem - 195,300 on it today

I understand both sides of this story because I have a mustang that I baby and one that is for driving. With the right tires winter driving is no problem and just driving a mustang is always a treat for me. But I understand the thinking behind keeping your pride and joy safe from the winter. I can't bring myself to make the baby trudge the snow and fend off idiot winter drivers. So.....my solution is get more than one.

Parked since Nov. and with this mild winter it hurts to walk past her some days. The only good part is way lower insurance and an excuse/chance to perform the mods I've been wanting to do all year.

Mine sits in the garage most of the year when not being trailered to/from the dragstrip or driven to a car show. If I get to missing her, I'll take her for a spirited ride around town at night.
