Default Newbie in CT

Hi all - I am fortunate enough to have 2 stangs in my stable. The first is my '65 Caspian Blue Convertible with a V-8 & AT. I have had it for about 10 years and each year put some hard earned cash into it to keep it up. I had it stripped and completely painted this past summer. If I have any cash this summer it will get a new top. The newestpony in my stable is an '07 Vista Blue GT/CS, 5 speed coupe. I got it slightly used (7K) and have since put on about 1000 miles in 3 weeks. it is my daily driver, yes a daily driver is Connecticut. So far i have been lucky the snow came prior to getting it and when it did snow I was home & did not need to go out. it is a blast to drive. Anyone one else use it as a daily driver in New England - or am I the only crazy one?? Here is a pic of my 2 ponies..

I am just outside of HArtford and only commute 3 miles to work so it should be not that bad if it is a bad snowey day.

Nice rides!

Mine is a daily driver...

2006 V6, 83,000 miles since 4/5/06.

I take her out in everything...

Here's a snapshot of our road...

190 mile a day commute...

I figured if I'm gonna spend 3 hours a day driving, I'm gonna damn-well enjoy it...
