Hello From Saskatchewan
Hey everyone, I am new to the forums. I am trying to decide on what Mustang i would like to get. So I am trying to do as much research as i can. I have been reading that most of you park your mustangs in the garage for the winter. For me i would have no choice to drive in winter if my wife and kids are out with the family vehicle.
So if i were to get a oem set of rims and snow shoes for it, would it still be ok to drive? i see others driving around in genesis coupes and bmw's and so on so i thought it should be ok.....am i wrong? i will just have to wash it all the time to keep clean. I just can't pay that kind of payment to let it sit there for 6 months and not listen to the rumble.
What are your takes on that?
What options should i be looking at?
Thanks everyone.

Welcome to the site dude. No probs driving year round, nothing a set of winter tires, a bag or two of kitty litter in the trunk, and like Snakebite said, common sense and you should be good to go. What year and kind of Mustang you lookin at getting?

Well i was looking at getting 2009-2011 stang. Was leaning towards new so i know what it has been treated like. My big thoughts right now are either go 5.0 or 3.7 v6 and wait till warranty is up then SC it. no matter what i go with, it will have HID's for sure as an option and i'm not sure what to take on the factory stereo yet. Might put in a double din nav/dvd head unit and a nice sounding speakers/amps/small sub stereo to compliment the rumble of the engine.
I am just starting to do research as i am getting to the point where i am able to seriously think about it and go and talk to a dealership. The major thing that was holding me back was the winter time.
What are your thoughts on a 2011 with what engine option and packages?
I am the kind of guy who has a hard time deciding as the options sound good, but don't know if i need certain options over other options. i always second guess everything i buy so i always as people to see their thoughts on things to see how they look at things and see if i thought of the same thing or not.
So fire away all and let me know options and why......
Thanks everyone, and thank you for the warm welcome

2005-2009 V6 Mustangs were limited to the 4.0 litre engine. I believe factory engine improvements started in 2010 and were more aggressive in the 2011 model with the introduction of the 3.7 litre engine. Just some food for thought.
