To Drive or not to Drive
by Black On Black Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:36 am
This is not a Question. It will be 60 degrees today and the stang is coming out of the Garage. 
Thanks to Farm Bureau Ins. I can call them and have insurance in 2 minutes. Then I will put it back away on Friday as it is calling for snow again.

Mine is out all year - driving through blizzards no problem. My granddaughter wanted me to put the top down during a blizzard but I had to tell her no that day.
I was going to put the top down today when I stopped for gas, but all the prices were so high I decided that I'll just drive with 3/4 until the weekend and see - but I saw another S197 convertible and he had the top down.

I'm with ya Jim, been out in the snow and salt all winter. I own a POS winter beater that didn't run all winter (probably didn't help that I hate the thing and put off working on it). Winter wasn't so nice to my stang this last go 'round.JimC wrote:Mine is out all year - driving through blizzards no problem.

That's one thing that has impressed me about my car; 99,000 miles on my 2005 and no bearing issues, even with the abuse I put on it.
