Retired Sailor finally gets a Stang

My wife got me an 05 V6 for a retirement present. Boy is it fun!! I'm not looking forward to this winter, though. Looking at snow tires. What other concerns should I have (parking break, undercarriage, salt, etc.) Never really had a NICE car and not really a mechanic. I'll be looking for a lot of help and advice.
Another thing I'm looking into is dual exhaust. Beneficial? Look forward to talking to you all.

Attaboy, congratulations on the retirement toy! I'm not certain about the benefits of dual exhaust on the V6, but I'm sure someone can give an educated answer...

have fun, welcome to the site!

Congrats on your retirement.. I don't think a dual exhaust will help performance wise but it'll look nice at least.. As far as the winter, well my butt doesn't come close to Maine winters so no advice can be given. I would not want to deal with that!
