But the Mustang is the most fun car I have had.

Yeah, it is what it is.
The first morning I drove the Mustang on snow was a trip down memory lane I could have done without - I hadn't driven a RWD car in over 15 years, and that was an '85 Cutlass Supreme, which was much larger and heavier. I had no weight in the trunk and about a 1/4 tank of gas, and fishtailed several times going down the street until I got the hang of it.
Now, if I know there's a possibility of serious snow, I make sure the gas tank is full and load an extra 150 pounds of cat litter in the trunk - that certainly makes it better. Of course, I don't have to drive all the way to work - I drive about a mile and then take a train into Chicago. That makes it better, too.
But having this car certainly curtails non-essential driving in shitty weather. Wish I had some sort of truck for the bad days, but another vehicle just isn't in the budget.
