That's what it's made for - driving - not mothballing.... or sitting in a corner staring at it...

Looking great!
:)

I drive mine when it's not snowing or wet out and above 45 (which isn't that often), but this is another level of abuse, lol. With that said, good for you. It's not like these cars are limited production or anything. The only reason I don't drive mine all year round is because I enjoy looking underneath and seeing that flawlessly clean undercarriage.

After dealing with too many rusty bolts in the past, I have a winter "beater" and don't drive my Bullitt if theres salt or snow on the road.

I do have fond memories of hooning on blizzaks on my past cars. Just takes its toll, unless you fluid film, undercarriage wash, etc.

Current winter beater (2015 Edge Sport) is a modified sleeper of sorts, but that big girl has too much body roll for me to comfortably hoon, lmfao!

More power to yah OP! Makes snow days, fun days.

I used to park my fun car for the winter and drive a shit box. After years of grief from my wife for making payments on something that just sits in the barn half the time, plus my son telling me that I’m basically just preserving it for the next owner since I never keep anything more than two years, I got a set of winter wheels & tires for my Mustang. I also have a shit box Dodge truck that is basically buried in the snow because I can’t stand driving it. The Mustang is just fine in the snow and I wash it anytime the temperature gets over twenty degrees. I despise winter but driving the Mustang all year makes it a little more tolerable.

I’m in Northern New York, about thirty miles south of Canada, so we get real snow and sub-zero temps quite frequently.

Good for you as well! You nailed it....my point also is that it's not a limited production model (not like I'm driving a GT500 or GT350), and I'm meticulous with my car and takes great care of it....if you saw my '08 V6 before, you would've never known that it was a daily driven vehicle...the undercarriage was clean with no trace of rust

I live in a condo with one parking spot, so makes no sense for me to store my car and maintain two cars given my bachelor status....BUT I do plan on keeping this one as long as I can so it will eventually be a weekend driver when I have it paid off

I drive mine year round, and put the top down if it's dry and 3C or better. I have also had mine sprayed annually with Krown. My wife's 2015 Rogue has been sprayed annually as well, and I can tell you that there is no rust on it all, top or bottom. Of course, working at home virtually exclusively these past 24 months has meant that it has had far less exposure to winter weather (or even rain, for that matter) than it would have otherwise, particularly this year, and it's garaged.
