i live in minnesota and i drive to avon colorado every year. put some blizzaks on it if you are that worried, but AN EVO OR A MUSTANG HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? CHANGE YOUR TIRES PUT SOME SUBS IN THE TRUNK IT WILL HELP THE TRACTION BUT AN EVO?

If I were you, I'd get a used Jeep Wrangler (modify it if you want) while you're there and still keep the pony. That case you'd be driving and owning two great American icons. Well. that's just my opinion,.

I really don't know how i didn't think about this before, but for some reason it never even crossed my mind. I will be going to college in denver or just outside of denver in 2 years. I had planned on a turbo or blower setup on this car this summer, but just thinking earlier today, i realized there is no way in hell i could deal with this car in the blizzards that go on out there and if i have to buy another car for the winter, i will not be dumping 6k into this car. I am a bit upset by this because i LOVE this car, but it is just not realistic to think i can drive this thing in the winter there. So here is what i think i will do if i can't think of anything better soon-

trade in my car, expect probably around 18k for it (fully loaded with pony package in perfect condition with 6500 miles on it, probably will be just over 10k around selling time) and use the extra 6k i have saved up to trade in on an evo like this one
I really love the mustang, but i have always liked evos and i pretty much NEED awd in the colorado winters. If you guys have any good other options for me i'd love to hear em.

DUDE !! Don't do it man. I know your young but you are one of the best contributers to this forum. It's so obvious that you have a passion for Mustangs. There are plenty guys that drive thier Mustangs in the snow.
KEEP IT!!!! And stay with us!!

Sell, buy a crapbox for the college years. Between the weather, friends throwing up in it and not needing to worry about someone steeling it for the 4+ years you'll be better off with a bomber. Then when you get a good job after college you'll be able to get a Salleen w/supercharger installed. Make sure you first get the good car again before you settle down with a family.

ha im not selling anymore, i found a way out of it. And sorry again, if i have the money to afford the s281 supercharged (52,000 bucks) i will be buying myself a used z06. Should be down around there when the next trim level comes out whether it be ss or whatever.
