Why do people drive Mustangs in the snow? What kills me is that the salt is just eating them away like cancer. A slow painful death. Stupid! Makes me sick...

Because maybe they don't have another car to get around? ...
You could get a winter beater for the price of a cai/tune and an axleback exhaust.So Cook... What are you implying? That people who can't leave their Mustangs in the garage for the winter just shouldn't own them?
I sure wish I could afford the luxury of owning two cars! I'd love to be able to drive a "beater" all winter so my Mustang could stay in show-car condition all year long. Unfortunately I can't... my GT is my daily driver. I don't like it, but there's no public transportation service or car pooling options where I work, so I HAVE to drive it to work every day.
Whenever it gets salt spray on it, I either hose it off by hand or take it to the touch-free laser wash ASAP after the roads dry. I do the best I possibly can to protect it from the elements.
So for me, (and a lot of other hard-working people) it's the only way I can own a Mustang. To my way of thinking, it's a much better option than not owning one at all!
Ok...
I just took off my Brembo pkg. wheels/tires and put on a new set of wheels with Blizzaks. The Mustang is fully capable of driving through a Michigan winter with proper tires and driving skill (of which I have both).
1. Your Mustang will not appreciate in value. Even if it' a Shelby (unless it's from the 60s).
2. Life is too short to lock up your car for months at a time, just so you can drive a piece of crap in the winter.
3. See #1 and #2.
