See, this is why those of us living in the midwest have what we call a DD, it takes only one winter to figure out, if you have a 5.0, you might just as well not own a car. Totally missed that blast here in Chicago- I woulda liked the money, but its ok not to have it just the same. Taking tomorrow off?

mine isnt tooooo bad in the snow. hills get a littel tricky. basically ill just put it in second or third and rev the crap out of it. i find that this flings snow out from under the tread, rather than just loading the tread up. then the cleared tread has a chance to churn through more of the snow and dig down to the asphault. thats what gets the damn thing moving. cant do that in traffic or around corners though! but its at least a small help for getting up a driveway or if you spin out or something, might get the car out under its own power.

heres from when i went to look for an apartment to live in next year, and uh, got a little off the beaten path haha

those two times were definitely times i was asking myself "wheres my truck!?". but at least the mustang has an LSD. my truck is an open diff so its really not that great either. its got better tires for that kind of thing though.

Last pic is my neighbors Steeda GT buried. This was a blizzard about 3 years ago. This was taken during the storm. We ended up getting about 6" more

Luckily in NJ it just rains these days...which can be just as bad as snow with a 5.0 at times and how heavy the foot is!

Ryan...That sucks bro...remeinds me of the time my 95GT with 34K got plowed in by the city truck. We got 15inches that year (2002) and it sucked trying to get in the backyard after I dug it out.

Mustang5L5----OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many inches?

Here's from last winter. We ended up with about 8-9 inches with about 2 inches of ice. Drive to & from the office which at the time was 3 miles each way. It was always nice to pass someone who's in a jacked up 4x4 who's stuck or in the ditch and see the look on their faces when I pass them in a lowered mustang.

HAHA!! I remeber those days. Before I could drive my Dad had a 95GT that he drove through 1 winter. He stuff the trunk with bundles of roofing shingles...that thing was like a 4X4 truck!! Right on through!
