One thing I have been wondering though. You know how our windows rol down like 1/4 inch to allow the door to open? What happens when the windows freeze?
They do?

I will never drive any one of my mustangs in the winter ever again!! But I don't live in sunny Florida anymore either. My wife was driving during the first snow we got.. she ended up doing 360's done the middle of the road. So, I took over and I have got to say that thing drove like total crap. The backend would slide out barely touching the throttle and if you had to stop even on the slightest incline for a light, forget going forward. Towards the end of that first year, even got rear ended.
Now, once the first snow hits and the roads get all messy, the stangs are put away until spring. I picked up an old beat up 85 F150 that i drive and it only cost me $800....
my .02, park it.

Already have the 69 Mach sitting in the garage. The 'other half' would kill me if I bought yet another car as my DD and let the GT sit in there too.
I agree that $0.5K isn't going to get you much of a beater...however, there are plenty of $3-4K beaters out there that are very dependable and will not cost much to maintain. It's a much better alternative then having some jerk run into your baby on an icy day...definitely peace of mind getting a decent "daily driver."
I drive mine a 100 miles per weekday year round. I live in NJ, we don't get frequent snow but it happens. I use a set of take-off rims with stud less snow tires.
I will be replacing the radiator support and swaybar before it gets too nasty.
