Snow on a stang? Definitely mustang abuse.

Snow will soon be history in Iowa, and I can take off the snow tires!
The '73 convertible in my other garage will get parked in the winter, assuming I get the restoration done , but I am going to enjoy driving this lady every day! Will be a tough choice when I have 2 Mustangs to choose from....

I live in the Midwest and DD my 21 GT. I also have a 4x4 Jeep Compass but choose to daily my mustang. Life’s too short for me to park my car all winter. If it rusts in 5-10 years I’ll trade her in for a fresh one and repeat

You say that now, wait till the rust kicks in

At least he has a garage so the car can dry out every night. I think it's worse when people have no garage, and the car is exposed to the elements 24/7.

Ahh, a ‘73 convertible…one of my favourites.

5 years, three different Mustangs...

These cars are actually very good in the snow if you ask me. Put on a set of snow tires and it becomes a snow monster on the roads.

I learned how to drive in the snow with a 98 Mustang, these S550's are worlds better.

Now that’s how you live life 1/4 mile at a time!

I think it’s actually the opposite. I leave my salt covered cars out of the garage until I’ve been able to clean them off.

Corrosion is a chemical reaction like most others, it needs energy to work. Sitting outside in the cold actually helps. Especially if it's below freezing outside. A garage will allow ice to melt into water, which is enemy number one. Ice can't generate the necessary ions to corrode anything.

Chiming in to reinforce this correct statement. Wash your car before putting it into the garage once it has been saltified such as my 2015 Mazda6 is at the moment. I don't even want it sitting next to the stang in the garage lmao! Also, fuck these Illinois winter storms. We passed 42 cars in the ditch today.

Totally agree!

Good for you. I never store my fun cars but don't drive them if the roads have snow on them. In CO snow melts the day after it falls so you can drive on relatively snow free roads throughout the winter. Just need winter tires for the low temps and be okay losing some paint/windshields from the gravel on the roads.

I have had winter beaters in MI (years ago) without any rust. It is all about how well you take care of your vehicles. My 2001 Silverado is nearly rust free. Just starting to get some surface rust on control arms/frame and that has over 320k miles on it.
