Nobody’s talked me into it. I know from experience.  
Ive driven my Mustang in the winter. The first winter I had it I drove it well into January.  
I even drove it today and it was spinning the tires just on the road salt with moderate throttle application. I cant imagine what it wouldve done with snow or ice on the ground.  
Its just not something Id want to drive all winter.

Ive driven 2wd trucks in the winter and made it thru ok but they didnt have any kind of balls like a Mustang or GTO.
