I have always stored my mustangs for winter. I stored (washed, garaged, and covered) my GT350 around Thanksgiving. I decided this year to not go all out for storing and instead to start it up every 5 to 10 days and at the least pull it half way out the garage and back in. The weather has been decent in my area a few times and I have cheated and drove her. Historically, Virginia has one or two snows a year. I think we had 70 degree weather on Christmas last year.
I am realizing now how much I love driving the 350 so much. It was easy to store my past mustangs including the GT500. I am addicted to this car. Getting the resonators removed a couple months ago isn't helping.
I imagine January to March will have a lot of salt/sand and moisture on the ground, so I will keep her off the road then. Until that day, I am enjoying her. Happy driving!
:cheers:

I'm planning to drive mine tomorrow. It will be a high around 30 and the third warm, dry day in a row.

Well, there is one benefit to living in florida.... the summers are long and hot, but this is the best time of the year. Soft sticky tires don't crack down here in the winter.

I refuse to store mine long term, only if there is snow on the ground or if the salt trucks are about will I leave her at home

Temps got above freezing here yesterday, so I gave in and got it out of the garage to go to Costco. I prefer to take the GT350 because it limits the amount of damage to my wallet I can do there.

Thanks funny! I also have very little trunk room with presents from Santa in there. My kids are getting sneaky at 6 and 8.

No cheating here this year. Last 2 weeks had multiple minor snow storms but a ton of salt on the roads. Mine is not covered yet but cleaned and ready to be covered this weeekend.

It was 29* here Monday. So much for sunny California? I want to draft a strongly worded letter to someone.

Alberta clippers kill us in Iowa. Has to be one of the coldest states in the US, maybe even worse than Alaska. Haha Come March it will be time to break it out tho. Just put it to bed because of the salt. Supposed to be 50 on Christmas here. If there wasn't any salt I'd give it a spin.

I've been driving my R in the slush and below freezing conditions. Few days I couldn't get out of my driveway do to a recent snowfall, but other than that, it is my daily driver still. Warmed up this week and the snow is gone, which is nice.
