you guys are all morons, right? i mean, if you pay 75 cents for a hotwheels car, then i would understand defects and whatnot. but how much are you 'tards paying for theses cars again? around 30,000? if i had to pay that much for a car, and it had a bunch of defects, i'd nuke the friggin car company. no complaints, no lawsuits, straight to nuclear warfare.

Dork. Cars costing $240,000 have problems. Get a life.

The only problem that I've found so far is a problem with refueling. It seems that the gas pump auto-shut off at two different gas stations (so far) trips prematurely and I have to squeeze the pump handle only half way in order to fill the tank.
I hope this doesn't happen at all gas stations. Could the fuel filler neck in the Mustang be too small?
pull the nozzle back towards you about 1 inch. your cutting off the air, which in turn is backing up the fuel, which in turn is shutting off the nozzle. :scratch:

I think these initial complaints are fairly easily remedied, but I'm cancelling my order due to the NHL lockout. Robert, tell us your gonna lose the avatar tomorrow so we can talk stangs not schtuk. :mellow: Seriously speaking, whats everyones take on taking extended warranties. This is my first brand new car purchase and I'm not sure if its worth the money? For the record, I'm that guy who gets the extended warranty at future shop for 20% of the purchase cost and nothing has ever gone wrong :angry:

Has anyone else had any problems refueling? Everytime I put gas in the automatic shut off on the pump triggers. It takes forever to put gas in.

No one is more upset about the lockout than me (Thrashers were play-off bound, I swear!), but what does that have to do with ordering a car?

Not getting off to a good start. With those comments though, you wont get a chance to make the difference up. If you have a problem, please feel free to contact me via e-mail.

I think the warranty question is unique for each buyer. For me it is a no brainer. I never keep a car for 3 years so an extended warranty is wasted money in my situation. Also I believe you can purchase a warranty down the road towards the end of the manufacturers warranty.

Look in classic car trader or Dupont's, you RARELY see a Ferrari with more then 15k miles, even 15 year old ones for a reason

Ohhh Pleeeease NOOOOOOOOO. That's what my car does now. That and spit it back out at me. And I thought getting a new car would solve that problem.

as stated above, pull the nozzle out about 1/2 to 1 inch to let air in. just don't go too far and spray gas all over.

Unfortunately I've tried that and just about everything else short of standing on my head and that still hasn't worked for my current car. Hopefully it will for my new mustang though.

Just a follow up to my posting about my air conditioning problem with my GT...they were able to fix the problem at the dealer in about 10 minutes. The problem was that they placed one of the refrigerant line caps on incorrectly and it caused all of the refrigerant to leak out. Just FYI in case someone else has the same problem.

Thanks
