Well, even here in NC the weather is getting colder. I figure I'll take my Mustang off of insurance at the end of this month, and drive my thrifty Nissan Pickup until March or April, whenever the weather gets decent again.

When are you putting your pride away for the winter?

End of this month for me too, Hopefully. God only knows what the weather will be like by then here in Nebraska.

But then I get to drive my awesome rice killing Z24, so it's an even trade

I won't be storing mine. Just drive it on weekends when there's no snow on the ground. I have a daily driver... It's no fun having to store it for the whole winter.

I dont do the jack stands. I hardly do anything, just disconnect the battery and blow the tires up hard as hell to stop them flat-spotting. Never needed fuel stabilizer. Starts right up every time. Obviously i put a cover on it, but thats about it.

Whenever it snows, as soon as it snows and salt is on the ground it doesn't see light until sprring when there is a heavy rain to wash the salt off the road.

Me too. I enjoy driving the mustang in the snow. The right shoes make all the difference.

Never.

GA is a fine place to drive a stang during the winter. I swear to God the cooler temp adds a few hp. Now that's CAI

one thing I love about West Texas, there's never enough snow to warrant salting the roads so I have no reservations about taking the mustang out in it. I do try to park to avoid any potential sliding vehicles though.

In about 3 weeks but i really thinks we re a bit silly. Lets face it, were talking about a 15000$ cars. Brother in law just got a M3 ( 92000CAN$) and is running it through winter. I even saw a 03 vert Cobra last winter in the snow and salt.
But every year, i cant resist, the stang goes into the garage and stay there until april .
