Too bad my '04 is a V6 tho. I want a GT.
GT's are nice in that no torque, knees hit the dash, strange rattle, windows screw up, seatbelts suck sort of way

Still better than a V6 IMO.

In drive mine all year round, does that make me a bad Mustang owner?? I do get it rust proofed every year though just before winter arrives.
Big Hairy Monkey what size rear tires are you running? wow that was weird typing that
245/50/16 Roadhugger GT-D <---- ****tiest tire ever.
i get used to all the squeaks, rattles, creaks, moans, etc.
It makes me appreciate driving newer vehicles. Ill get into my friends 330i from time to time and think to myself "so this is what a quiet smooth ride is?
"
i feel you on that, although i sometimes do wish i had a DD, just cause the roads around Univ of Houston are so damn ****ty. Anyone who lives in houston (actual houston, not suburbs) knows how ****ty the damn roads are. Nothing makes me angrier than hitting a bigass pothole in my baby

I am driving mine every day right now
It is a love hate thing...I love driving it but hate putting the miles on it and the wear and tear!
Beleive it or not, my fox was always the familys 'reliable' car. We drove 70s caddys that always broke and the fox always worked. Frequently jumpstarted 500 Cubic Inch engines with ease!

My 1988 GT is my second daily driven fox. I drive about 50 miles round trip a day to get to work. I've got a nice MAC exhaust on it and a ram air hood. Other than that it's stock with 98,000 on the clock. Runs and looks great. I also own a 85 Notch that I just pulled the motor out for a redo. When it's done it should be puttin' down about 320 to the wheels and I plan on driving it on fridays when it's nice. It's even got 4.56s and I'll still drive it!

I own 2 Mustangs and I drive only one of them every day. The one which is my all year long daily driver is my 2002 V6 Mustang. I already put 40,3xx miles on it since I purchased it brand new back in January 2002. I've driven my 02 Mustang thru 6 winters so far if you also include this winter. This car has seen some brutal New England winters with a lot of snow and salt on the roads. I am going to continue to drive this car until it rusts out.
My other Mustang is a 2001 GT which has ONLY 2,6xx original miles on it. I've only put about 400 to 500 miles per year on it since I purchased the GT brand new. It's never seen winter or salty roads.

I read over the threads and get the idea that most people have like 2-3 cars and the stang is just a weekend cruiser. How many of you guys actually take the car out everyday to work, school, etc. Im unfortunate enough to barely afford one car, so she goes everywhere i go
My wife drives her 90GT everyday. It has no A/C, squeeks and rattles a bit, could use a paint job, but she loves the mods, (ported E7's, E303, 3.73's, T5 and ALL the bolt ons) loves the attention the car gets her, and loves to surpise people in it.
She wouldn't trade this car for anything.

Got my first Fox Bod 5.0 in late '88. Since then I've owned 3 more cars, all 5.0s. lol I keep telling myself I'm going to get something newer to DD but I've been spoiled by the lack of car note and ease of repair. Of course there's more to it than that but the point is they continue to get the job done.

I daily drive my car. Its really fun to daily drive a high 12 second car, and since I dont usually drive more then 10 miles a day its not a problem, fl without a/c can get bad but I love the breeze.
