I have a 1995 mustang and i live in Northern Ontario, Canada. So it seems silly for me to have a mustang, just because of the massive amounts of snow. BUT it can be fairly easy to drive in snow. I put about 6 bags of road salt in my trunk and i got winter tires. That seemed to do the trick for me. The bags of salt have also come in handy if i do get stuck. Just shovel out a bit of the snow, toss some salt down and watch it melt. works wonders. I don't know about American tires, but if you are from Northern Ontario you can get tires with ball barings in them that act like spikes to the ice. Maybe look into that too.

I have driven my '05 the last two winters. I had the wrong tires so it was a nightmare. But like other people said if you buy winter tires and put some weight in the back (you can buy a package of shingles for $20 and put them back there. it will come out to 60lbs) you will be ok. My biggest fear was putting dents in it (which I came close to doing several times.

i like the shingles over the rock salt. if the rock salt breaks open, you could be in trouble, even a warm day would be a bad thing.
