Just put the stang in a shed at home for the winter. I got a 1992 F150 5.0 a year ago, 4x4 is nice to have with the ice and such. Just curious how many people rough it out and drive their mustang in the snowy weather (for those of us that live in the colder regions at least) or have something else to get them around.

Last winter was the first winter that I did not have to worry about driving the stang in the snow(PA winters). It has been my daily driver since 2002.

I drive mine through the winters unless there is snow on the roads or in the immediate forcast... those days I drive my 2003 Dakota CC (4wd, v8, 5-speed, 32" BFG MT's)...

I don't think I ever would have survived our usual snowboarding trips without my 94 Bronco rattle trap. Last year, I had chains (actually cables) and ended up pulling a guy out of a ditch with it during some mean weather in northern AZ.

Im reppin this 92 subaru legacy, AWD FTW!!! cant beat an $800 car to reliably get me to work in the winter, and summer when the stang is down and out haha


Born to rally!!


And i drove this little $400 number two years ago, god damn do i love cheap beaters. This thing would E-brake on a dime, i had bald all-seasons on the rear, and the cheapest winter tire wal-mart sold on the front, i could go places some of buddies had trouble with in there 4x4 trucks

Turbo baby!!!

Turbo 3, 1L, FTW!!!!!

Here's my p/u. Its old but I love that body style and it was cheap.



EDIT: It has the 5.0, auto. 4 wheel drive with automatic hubs (its nice to not get out and lock them in all the time)....all red interior. It had running boards from wheel to wheel that looked ugly, they got rid of them the first day I had it. ummm...it has 184000 miles and still goin strong...
