Its that time of the year again, where cold weather and unsafe road conditions leave your Mustang sitting in the garage. Winter is the saddest times of the year for me, because that means winterizing my 200 Mustang convertible and having to drive my slow and boring winter truck. Unsafe roads, cinders, and salt are very hazardous to the condition of your Mustang, therefore winterizing your car is the best solution for maintaining your Mustangs peak performance. The worst part about driving a mustang during the winter is the cinders and salt they put on the road to melt the snow and ice. This keeps the roads drivable and save, but are very harmful to your wheels and the underneath of your mustang. The salt from the roads is corrosive and damages the condition of your wheels by eating away at the finish. Never use chrome rims on roads that have salt of cinders, because it will ruin the shiny finish. Salt and cinders also eat away at the metal exhaust and other suspension and drive train components. To avoid all of these hazardous road conditions I personally put my Mustang away until the roads are free from salt and cinders. I put my mustang away in the garage and put a car cover over it to keep away all the dust and dirt. I also unhook the negative battery cable to there is no drawl on the battery during storage. Another tip to to leave rat poison near the vehicle so that rats don't make nest in the engine bay, air intake, or interior of your car. The last thing before i put my mustang away for the winter is take one last drive, and wash the interior and exterior of my Mustang. This will insure that there is no harmful substances on the car while in storage. If your love your Mustang like I do, i suggest winterizing your car until the roads are safe and the weather is nice again.
