Nope, I have 3 other vehicles to drive when the weather is bad. Heck, I don't even drive the Mustang when it rains.....only take it out on pretty days.
Maybe that's why I have never washed it. However I do keep a car cover on it and detailed.

I don't rely only on the electronics, actually most of the time i drive with it off because it seems to get in the way. Its annoying when the traction control comes on.

On the wife's 2005 vert, I run four 235/55R17 Pirelli 210 SottoZero tires on take-off Bullitts. Those tires make the difference. For me, I will park Bacon during bad weather and drive our 2005 Explorer XLT.

Debbie came up with the name, Bacon, for my '85 California Highway Patrol SSP Mustang. I think it's quite appropriate! That's why I have my avatar pic.

Yup. Granted, I'm in Tennessee and we don't get a whole lot of snow, and it's my daily driver, but regardless, I drive it come hell or high water.
