Portholes. Where are the portholes? Very nice stance though.

Re: I bounced a check.
I think it's a shame they didn't make them longer, with more power... I'd drive it.

Re: I bounced a check.
I don't get the complaints about low power. Are we not car guys here? Gaining more power from what we drive is part of this thing, isn't it? I never left anything the way it came out of the box

Longer... No! It barely fits in my garage now. Not everybody has a garage that you can park a Zeppelin in. Do I sound jealous of your badazz new garage? Because I am. 4.6 or 5.0 power sure would have been nice. But I'm good with not so fast. I'm not too fast these days.

I actually like the stock grille better. I might be crazy (Might?) but I think it looks kind of old Ferrari and we all know Ford and Ferrari have been taking pot shots at each other for years. Or I could be completely wrong. I often am.

Longer - Time-wise. I would have like to have seen a 2nd gen get a little boxier. When Ford redid the mustang in 2010 from the 2005 retro body they ended up with the best looking modern Mustang (and most 67-69 looking mustang ever) and caused me to buy a 2011 brand new. These were only built 4 years?

I thought you were talking about the length of the car. What a fool I am. But it reminded me of my 1968 Oldsmobile 98 convertible. What a boat. I had to touch the bumper on the front wall garage to close the door. No clearance whatsoever. It barely fit. Not an inch to spare. She was a big girl. But the big ones give you the best ride.

Re: I bounced a check.
When I was around 12 my dad bought a 69 Pontiac Bonneville convertible because it had a good running 455 in it. It was a NY bondo bucket... looked good from 10' away, swiss cheese underneath. BUT it was cool enough he kept it around whole for 2 summers and drove it before pulling the motor. I think that was the biggest car my dad ever owned. The frame was bad and most of the body was bondo.

Re: I bounced a check.
Soooo.... I had a car with a big stereo in it and it got ripped off one night while I was at work. Got a pretty healthy check for it, and remembered I had always wanted a streetbike. So, I deposit a State Farm check, I find a bike (82 GS1100E, wish I had it back.) I buy it, I write a check, Wife is PO'd, no problem, right?
I'm working graveyard at this point. Few days go by, about 10 AM I get awakened by a call from a "lady" at the bank informing me that I had written a large bad check and I was in a great deal of trouble, all in the snottiest tone I've ever heard. "Really? I deposited way more than that last week." "Do you have a deposit slip?" "You know, I think I do." "Really, what's the number?" I find it and read it off to her, she snottily says she'll be looking into this and she'll get back to me. An hour later, I get A VERY apologetic call that she'd looked into it, and the deposit had been miskeyed, and the mistake was being taken care of and all the charges were being reversed. Hmm. I don't think my reply was the meek OK she expected. Had she only been polite when waking me up in the first place... I stopped doing business there shortly after that.

I would never knowingly write a bad check. Well...I take that back. I might write one to my ex wife. Not to cheat her but just to piss her off for my own amusement. It would be worth it.

I wish they had used the 4.6 so it could at least be modded easily.

Re: I bounced a check.
I don't know why they didn't. They were putting them in everything else.

Re: I bounced a check.
I recall "conversations" with one of my childhood friends back in the early '60s about Chevy/Ford, who's better. His dad used to talk about how the T-Bird sold like hotcakes, and dissed the Corvettes. Interesting to recall those conversations, since the Corvette was first by a couple of years, but I was just a kid and didn't know enough at the time to argue back. The guy was BS-ing me, and I didn't have the stuff to call out an adult when they were wrong.

Re: I bounced a check.
Isn't the 4.6 the one that spits the spark plugs out? I think I have a special Ford broken spark plug removal tool in my drawer somewhere. If anyone needs it. No use to me. LOL
