Not me! I don't drive mine in the snow, but otherwise all that cold autumn/winter air is too good to pass up! My car loves that cold air.

With all the rain we've had this summer, I'm not sure if my Stang ever came out!

well it's already cold here........one more month and into the garage for good. Pretty common for it to be a mind numbing -30 all winter. Tough living through Canadian winters.

Fortunately I will be able to drive mine year round now. No more salt near my car, unless I go to Bonneville

I store my Fox regularly ... every Sunday. However, I start to suffer withdrawal symptoms within a day or so, thus I am forced to take it out of storage every Friday night or Saturday morning. It's no wonder I've been such an insufferable grumpy butthole for the past month or two while I've been sorta Stangless while I worked on getting the Black Pearl roadworthy.

Of the 3 I have, I'll keep one out til the day the snow flies. On November 26, 2006, I drove my black notch windows down, and a T-shirt. Got my windows tinted that day, and cruised that night!!! In 2007 though, it was away way before that due to an early winter that lasted very very long into April. I'm trying to sell my black notch so that's the one I'll keep out the longest.

Mine will still be pulling daily driver duty again this winter, as it has for the last 15, lol. I will however be changing back to the 10 holes in November before the salting starts to help preserve the billets.

The Cobra's getting "winterized" as soon as it snows. The Gt will stay in the garage after the first snow unless conditions permit. This is my first year with the LX, so I will have to see how she does in the snow, then decide. If it gets really crappy, I'll be driving my Purple Explorer Sport. (Yes it really is purple.) Although I have driven my bikes in snow, I'm getting too old for that now. Oh, Yeah, they just cinder the roads around here, It's hell on paint and the gt's fogs usually get cracked within an hour of driving, but that combined with the dry climate means that I dont have to worry about rust!!!

I haven't even really gotten mine out yet this year. I pulled it out, washed it, took it for a short cruise, and popped it back in the garage. Once I finally finish my supercharger install, I'll get it out for a couple months, but then it'll go back in the garage again.

im going to get it in my uncles garage soon to keep a forever going project 66' coupe company., and most likely force me into forgetting i even have a mustang..... and it will probably be left to spider webs and dreams. good for the wallet! bad for the heart , but i cant let this thing sit out here no more. i opened the doors yesterday to clean out all the garbage(trash)and there was like a million ants !!!!!!!!!
