Auto. I know that's a sin to some, but I live in a Major Metropolitan
Area[tm].

Can't. This is my first Mustang. It's quicker than my Ram. Although
my truck has a 5.9L V8 so it's no slouch.

I appreciate it, but I also work very hard for it.

I'd like to be a pimp, actually.

Don't worry, the only reason some mechanics see the same cars over
and over is they are the crap, not the car. I have an 89 and the only
time it's been worked on is when I upgrade something other then
replacing the water pump and ther rubber peddals. The new Mustangs also
have a really high reliability rating. You wanna talk about crap? lets
talk about early to mid 80s Jags or early to mid 80s Cimmeron/Cavaliers.
OMG!!

No worries here. I don't write $30K checks if I'm not sure. ;-) That
was the second largets check I ever wrote.

Um, that's a brand-new car. I rather suspect they don't
have a high *reliability* rating, there's no way we can know
yet. They probably have a very high *initial satisfaction*
rating, though, given all the hype.

Or Yugos.

There is no doubt about it, in a metro area you gotta have an auto or
the car's for weekends only. I drive my kids' stick-shift '65 fb to
work sometimes, crossing the SF Bay Bridge. Along about the 20th
minute of stopping and going to get through the toll booth I'm ready to
get out and start walking. Keeping the faith is all well and good, but
the car will get a lot more use if it's not torture to use it.

Glad to hear they're dealing (a little) on the GT's. My local Ford
dealer has a silver/black GT vert out front and of course they want the
$5,000 added dealer profit. That makes it a $38,000 car, just a few
thou below a Corvette!
