Cold weather?

I'm from Canada and its gets stupid cold, was -29 C (-22F I think?) last night.. Never drove the 92 in the winter, the camaro wouldent get out of my driveway. Probably would have helped if it had winter tires.. or even all seasons. Bought the 89 in the fall and drove it quite abit over the winter before selling it in the spring. It was always started great but for some reason if I locked the doors they would freeze and wouldent unlock and I'd have to get in/out through the hatch until it warmed up or I thawed them out haha

I've had my 92 out in -40F a couple of times here in Fairbanks. Until I got some good quality all-season tires (nobody stocked stock size tires that were studded) it was useless. Now with the all-seasons it does fine in snow up to 2-3". That being said, I had to winterize it (coolant heater/battery warmer) else it wouldnt start. I just had to get used to the fact that my Canyon has Traction control, and the Mustang is all torque.

I live in Spokane Wa and it's been pretty cold the last month. The highs not getting about freezing at all and the lows sometimes in the single digits. I see some newer mustangs on studded tires driving around but no Foxbodys. I keep my 87 GT T-top in the garage all winter although it's in pieces at the moment (getting ready for paint in the Spring time) but even if it wasn't I wouldn't drive it unless the roads were completely de-iced and clear and i'd only drive it long enough to get it to operating temp for a short time and then park it again.

im in southeastern PA. it's 18 here now. Barely getting out of the 20's all week. If the roads arent salted or wet, i'll take the car out regardless of temperature.

6 months from now it will be 95 degrees with 90% humidity. March - May & Sept-Nov are my fav driving times.

My favorite time will be June-Sept. I can't wait to remove the T-tops, roll all the windows down and cruise with my 4 y/o son out to the Columbia River or Coeur D'Alane lake while it's about 80-90 degrees outside. My son LOVES foxbody mustangs!

Maybe after I get an electric fan, those will become my favorite months. Car runs too hot. I do love a warm summer night cruise. It's 18 here today and I just picked up my 8 yr old from the bus stop in the Stang. Occasionally I pick up my 6 yr old from kindergarten in the car too. He loves the monster tach and says "take it up to 6!!!" Gotta love it!

Wait until he can count to 8 and the 10!

When I'm out driving with my 4 y/o he points out all the mustangs on the road and he can distinguish foxbody's from other mustangs and when he see's a Honda or Subaru with a loud exhaust he say's "hey daddy look it's a rice burner"! Best son ever!

we've already had a talk about the rev limiter and would happen if the tach went above "6"... He just likes the sound and when the shift light comes on!

my car is just a toy. i have a daily driver to use in the cold weather. its not the cold so much that keeps me from driving ti in the winter months.. its the salt and crap they put on the roads that i don't want all thrown up onto my car..
