About to commit to using my GT next year (always stored my Mustangs over winter) in HARSH winter commute. I live in central NY, have to drive to northern NY every week. I would be going up 81 where they get 400" a year of snow, and salt the roads like it is their favorite pastime. I came out of a bar up there a month ago, and it was -29*. Cold AF. It is a manual, so I will miss the remote start.
Currently, I am using my expedition for the winter drive, and it sucks gas to the tune of about 10 mpg once I am up there. Sick of having a decent car 50% of the year. After reading about the depreciation thread, I figure I should just wear this puppy down.
So,
-getting some 18" wheels for the best winter tires I can find,
-Weather tech front mats.
-Buying an extended warranty out to 8 years.
-Wash it as much as I can.
-Fluid film it till it looks like it came out of a roman orgy.
-Is their a mustang specific block heater that works good?
Crazy? Who else drives their Mustang in HARSH winter conditions? To be honest, I never see a Mustang around in the winter. But I want a nice car 24/7 365. I was even mulling over (after renting one in Hawaii) turning it in on a Q50 AWD 3.0 turbo, which was surprisingly quick and agile. I don't feel like taking a depreciation hit on a 2 year old GT with 24K miles though.
