They're gonna sell the shit out of it. Mustang is part of the key to that.

But yes, not a mustang!

 

only a mustang person would say that.

 

What, that it's a Mustang? @shakerhood is a Mustang owner and he thinks it's hideous!

 

Even as someone who likes the ridgeline and hates the "not a truck" mumbo jumbo...that isn't a Mustang.

How big are the batteries? I'm a little surprised. Look at tesla, yeah this isn't a tesla but, tesla has shown you can fit big batteries with plenty of range in a normal size car, ie a Mustang size vehicle. What the hell is Ford doing...

 

Its called a Mustang Lithium, 900 HP and 6 Speed Manual. From what I read you can just select 3rd gear and drive like an automatic or switch over to Manual mode and use the clutch and all 6 gears.

 

Now THAT is a Mustang!

 

If I were being forced into an electric vehicle I would take that in a heartbeat because of the Manual!

 

Does it have a decent stereo? That's one of the things I look at...

 

A lot of guys take the IRS out of the 99 - 04 Cobra and swap them into the Fox. Ford wanted an IRS in those Cobra's but told the engineers they had to make it fit with no modification to the body or underside so they are a direct swap.

 

You can always swap a stereo in with minimal work, swapping to a different style transmission is a whole other issue.

 

Though would my taste in stereo modifications result in reduced travel range?

 

@shakerhood

There's still one particular motorcar I yearn for...



For me, a Rolls-Royce SZ is right up there with a Tundra TRD Pro! Still would not mind a Fox Body Mustang though!

 

@shakerhood

And the SZ was available with what you and I would refer to as positraction; However, it was a very uncommonly ordered option and most Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars had an open rear (I don't even think an LSD was available until the 1990s)

 

@Taco critter

Finally switched over to my mom's iPhone!

 

5 days of weather at near zero degrees F on the IA/NE border is finally over, back to just below freezing now at 28
snow and freezing drizzle mix is on the way

 

Currently 19 here...

 

Why is my truck always covered with ice crystals in the morning when it wasn’t wet and/or raining the night before?

 

I do not much care for online dating; I haven't had the best luck with it, and when I do end up meet someone it always ends up going nowhere; One time back in 2015 or 2016, I met this girl on OK Cupid...

She was not the most attractive person ever, but she wasn't bad looking either; What drew me to her was that, like me, she drove a pickup truck and was into photography! Sure, it was a Ford Ranger and not a Tacoma, but any woman who drives a pickup is fine by me; Besides, when she found out that I drove a Tacoma, she told me that was her dream truck! She lived in an apartment with her mom maybe twenty minutes from me if I remember correctly, and all seemed to be going well initially. However, when I tried to set up a date, something would come up. After the umpteenth time trying to set up a date, she lashed out at me like I was the jerk (when she was leading me on), and I cut off contact...

I was still greatly upset by this fiasco. I was still working at Puck at the time, and there was this one couple working there who I am still friends with to this day; A barback/bartender and a waitress/bartender who both really like me and tended to be quite overprotective of me if anybody gave me shit...

I showed them my text message exchange with the girl I'd met on OK Cupid, and I am positive my female coworker would have hunted her down and kicked her ass if she knew her address; Both of them came to the unanimous decision that the way I had been treated was bullshit, and I didn't really have much to do with OK Cupid after that...

 

More recently, my best friend's wife attempted on two separate occasions to set me up with friends of hers. The biggest issue is that my friend's wife is 36, and both of the women she set me up with were older than me. I would not mind dating an older woman in the slightest, but the problem is that by the time I'm ready to have kids she'll be in the early stages of menopause. The first woman my friend's wife set me up with was fifteen years older than me (45 at the time) and not the least bit attractive; Even if she had been attractive and/or closer to my age, we just did not connect...

 

The second woman my friend attempted to set me up with ten years older than me (40 at the time) and quite attractive in my opinion; She was a single mother with two kids, a house that she owned (not rented), and a good job. The biggest issue is that she lived almost an hour from my house. She also had kids and a sick mother; Neither of these were her fault, and I was very sympathetic...

However, what ended the relationship before it even started was that a longtime friend of hers moved back to town and admitted that he'd had a huge crush on her for years; We are still friends on Facebook and still communicate, but she inevitably chose her old friend over me; My best friend's wife has not set me up with anymore of her friends...
