Winter is coming. Who else has to drive there mustang this winter.

If it gets real nasty out I take the wifes car, but for normal daily commute I have to drive my stang this winter again. Maybe someday Ill be able to buy a beater but for now its not in the budget.

I miss the days of buying a cheap pos for 100-200 and driving it tilll spring. Nowadays you just cant find a cheap car anymore around here.

Oh well who else is driving their baby this winter?

I will; if it snows or if the roads are wet and salty I'll have to go borrow one of my folks cars like I did last year.

I really hope this winter isnt going to be as bad as last years.

i figured this thread would be a good place to ask this question, rather than starting a whole new one...

i just got off the phone with a place that sprays Rhino Lining on truck undercarriages and beds professionally... he assured me that he sprays from a gun out of 33 gallon barrels, not spray cans... and that he has never had anyone complain of overspray as he's very meticulous... he quoted me for $225 cash to spray the undercarriage of my mustang

i think rhino lining is some of the toughest rustproofing and protectant out there... do you guys agree? he said all i have to do is make an appointment and allow three hours drying time... versus me dropping out the rear end and driveshaft myself and laying out in the cold and spending a lot of money on POR-15...

thoughts on this?

I've never had the pleasure of driving in ice and snow and the like...so I am not too worried about this winter either
