#2411 of 2847 Re: winter storage in the northeast [psycozman] by tayl0rd Nov 13, 2006 (12:17 pm)
Replying to: psycozman (Nov 13, 2006 8:59 am) Yes, use a car cover. Preferably one that is breathable. Yes, definitely wax it before storing it. Yes, disconnect the battery. You should probably run it for at least 10 minutes per week. I would say drive it for those 10 minutes that you run it per week. That way, all the fluids will get a good working out (tranny fluid, differential fluid, brake fluid, etc.). I would suggest having the air in your tires replaced with nitrogen.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Nov 13, 2006 12:17 pm) If you're going to run it every week, don't bother disconnecting the battery. If you have access to A/C power in the garage, you may want to consider a top-notch battery charger like the Battery Tender. I use one on my 10KW generator, and it's awesome.   If you DO run it every week, I'd be careful to run it more than 10 minutes. You want to make sure that all the gasoline that may have seeped into the oil burns off, and that the water is all evaporated out of the exhaust system.   If you drive it, be careful about picking up road salt.   I'd probably just disconnect the battery, put it on a Battery Tender, toss a cover over it, and come back in March or April.   But that's just me.   Good luck!

#2413 of 2847 Mustang GT: Best car under $30,000 by pony_pirate Nov 16, 2006 (7:06 pm)
The Mustang GT not only made Road and Track's best 12 cars under $30,000, but is singled out as one of the best of the bunch.
#2414 of 2847 10,000 miles by tayl0rd Nov 27, 2006 (12:08 pm)
I just turned 10,000 miles on my '05 GT. Bought it brand new w/ 4 miles on Jan 1, 2005. Was kind of hoping I could stretch it all the way to the 2 year mark before tripping the 5th digit. But with the weather we've had the past few days, I couldn't resist taking her out!
#2415 of 2847 Mobil 1 by pony_pirate Dec 01, 2006 (9:21 pm)
Put Mobil 1 in my GT. Recommend it highly. Definitely runs smoother. A tad more power. No wonder new Vettes come with it in their engines.
#2416 of 2847 Mobil 1 & Others by vertical3 Dec 02, 2006 (7:21 am)
Have always run a synthetic in every new vehicle I've gotten. Usually Mobil 1SS but Pennzoil and Castrol as well (PepBoy's auto chain frequently offers rebates that brings the per bottle price to $1.99). Wife's 06 4Runner has it now as did her 03. Switched to WalMart syn 65K for my 99 Expy (now 103K) because of the costs. Changed 500 mi to Mobil 1SS in my 06 GT. Not only does GM put Mobil 1 in Vette's, but Viper's, Porsche's, Aston Martin's, and BMW's all come from the factory with it as well.
#2417 of 2847 future Mustang sedan and wagon by neile457 Dec 13, 2006 (8:10 am)
Autoweek has an article that is about the future of the Mustang. And mentions they are considering a sedan version. And also a wagon? link title Replies to this message: qbrozen (Dec 13, 2006 8:21 am) m1miata (Dec 28, 2006 7:48 pm) akirby (Dec 29, 2006 9:06 am)

Replying to: neile457 (Dec 13, 2006 8:10 am) I don't buy it.   They SHOULD build those variants, but if they do, I seriously doubt they'll be naming them Mustangs.

Replying to: riposte (Nov 13, 2006 3:50 pm) i have a '91 mustang. i just change the oil, fill it with gas and put the car cover on it(garaged). usually start it one time over the winter months and run it for 20 minutes or so including heater. i have had to replace the battery every 6 years. i am in the northeast.
