You may want to put your car back into storage. We are to get a snowstorm today and Friday. That means that there will be salt on the roads. Put your Mustang GT back into storage until the snow melts and until there is no salt on the roads.

Its not easy man. But the winter keeps me busy. So i don't mind that much putting it away. I could'nt live without snowmobiling so the switch is good. But this time of year i am itchy to get it out. There is no more snow.

Amen on the snowmobiling, I put about 500 miles this winter "drift busting",
drag racing, jumping off stuff, (dislocated my thumb), also got about 15 days
of downhill skiing in. Aint gonna happen in FL, TX, or CA (unless you drive to the mountains)

Yeah I used to live in San Diego, but now in NY I only see my car 5 or 6 months. I change the oil before and after storage. Also, I go and start it once or twice a month and once it warms up I drive it up and back inside storage for the tires. I think I read that the oil gets old after 3 or 4 months, so I change it.
