I am ordering a Sonic Blue after the winter. Mustangs and snow don't mix and I cannot see letting it sit all winter in the garage.

Punchy said:I'm waiting until after the first of the year for tax purposes. In Missouri, you don't have to pay personal property taxes for the first year that you own the vehicle. They base that on what year you purchased the car. If I buy it now they consider 2004 the first year of ownership even though I would have actually only owned the car for less than a month. I wouldn't have to pay taxes on it in 2004 but I would have to pay taxes for it at the end of 2005. If I wait until January, I won't have to pay taxes until the end of 2006.

I am going to reserve judgement on wether or not I am going to use this car as my winter driver. Keep in mind that this is a much different car than prior mustangs. The front/rear balance is 52/48, whereas the prior model was 57/43 which makes quite a difference (anyone who has driven a BMW will attest). Also another aid in winter driving is the traction control. don't forget that.
If I end up only driving it only in Spring/Summer (3 months total here in WI ) it will probably be more of keeping the miles down on the mustang issue than a lack of winter driveability issue.

I don't necessarily mind driving on slippery roads, it's more the salt that will eat up the underbody of the car that pisses me off. As soon as it even starts to flury the salt is dropped down likes it's life or death. Sometimes the roads are just covered; it's very rediculous! I also had a run in with a light post with my former 94 5.0 because I hit black ice a few years ago. My '05 (when I get it) will be a garage queen for at least 7 months outta the year
