Year round. We have not even had that much snow here the past few winters. Def do not need snow tires. However, if there is snow on the roads I do not drive it. Takes very little accumulation to start slip sliding away. Found that out some years ago when attempting to drive over to my parents’ house. Had to turn around and come home. Very scary!

I take mine off the road because of the salt. I’ve gotten caught driving in the snow in my previous Mustang Gt, I was in Rhode Island at the time so the land was flatter but it still was difficult. Once I got going I was alright but the car kept getting sideways while I was trying to gain momentum. I got caught in a very light dusting driving home from work on my motorcycle one time which was the worst but luckily it was only a couple of miles.

Visited the Simeone Foundation Museum in Philly today. You racing buffs must be familiar with the place? Very well done and very well laid out museum. Some cell phone pics.

Loved the Siimeone. We visited several years ago with Ken and a small group of other S2K folks. If you are in the Philadelphia area it is a must do for any motorsports enthusiast.
