Huh? The picture's so dark I'm having trouble figuring out where the joke is supposed to be.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Actually they run pretty well in the winter with snow tires on them.

Isn't a Mustang rear-wheel drive? Wouldn't it make more sense to put the chains on the back tires?

But not nearly as much fun!
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Actually, I think Mustangs have a problem with slipping during steering. It's more of a problem than getting traction at the rear wheels.

Plus, if you put the chains on the rear wheels and they spun you'd cause quite a bit of damage.

On the other hand, I can't even put chains on my Camaro. Fortunately I live in California and only ever had my Camaro in snow once while I was in Minnestoa (boy was that fun).

Edit:
Ha! That reminds me. Back in Minnesota, there was some guy in town with a Mustang. He had a big decal across his rear windshield that said 'Only little boys wear bow ties'. I was always tempted to get one custom made to put on his car that said 'But what kind of boy plays with ponies?'.
