So, whatever I pay for the beater-350 a month, after two months, most pay for themselves. A car with over 150k will quickly turn into a money pit. As soon as you fix the water pump, it needs an alternator, get that done and the heater core goes out, then the trans starts to slip, etc you get the picture... What I mean is, I don't try to keep them running, it's not worth it for a car I don't care about. And it becomes a viscous cycle, the more you put in, the more you need to get out to justify it, so you put more in...Anywho, if you're set on driving a 'Stang this winter, follow the above tip's, and you'll be allright, except in the thick stuff.</blockquote>
