Living in southern WI I can sympathize. We haven't had enough snow yet to warrant salt, thankfully. I can still drive mine for a few more days! First big snow can't be too far off.

Probably, but who wants to drive a 400+ HP car in the ice and snow? That's no fun. I have a '98 Jeep Cherokee with under 100k miles I found as my winter car.

Buy another set of rims & some Blizzaks---worked on my '95 & it had alot of HP. Are you keeping yours for a museum?
Life is too short to drive a S---box all winter long.

I know I could drive it year round (and if it were just the snow, I would), but knowing I was driving a car like this through salt would kill me. Besides, my daily driver/winter car isn't that bad, and its only 3 1/2 months a year.

What's this "snow" you speak of? And why do they put salt on the roads? I put salt on the meat I barbecue outside on Christmas day.

You guys in Florida can keep your heat, humidity and hurricanes. I was down there in September when it was sunny and 72 degrees here. It was still 90 and humid in South Florida. No thanks.

Finally snowed yesterday. Car hibernates still spring.

My 07 has seen 3 winters. Snow tires FTW.

Also mentioned in a previous post...are you saving it for a museum? NONE of the new Mustangs (Shelby included) will go up in value within the next 40 years, so what's the point?

I just put my '04 and '11 ponies in their storage garages. Sad day for sure, but the girls are tucked safely away.

I have my '11 pony in the hands of my body man while we are getting a foot of snow in Boston. Have to hold off painting until the humidity goes down.

Going to make the break for Florida to start my spring in February or March.
I lov Florida in the winter!
