LOL... I know right? Sorry man - been so busy with the house. I am updating my garage/house build thread though. But timing is perfect since it's winter, Marilyn's hibernating, I'm not really in a "mustang mood" except for my garage.
I didn't know you had wood working skills Gabe. That's hardcore. Even though I hate cats, those you built are cool. Next you need to paint or stain
Lol thanks Burton. The cat tree is gonna get carpeting on the flat surfaces and some scratching rope will wrap some of the studs, to give them something to scratch.
No paint or stain.
I rolled mine out of the garage and onto the icy driveway, slid into a low spot, and needed twenty minutes and lots of sand to get it out. When does the 4wd Mustang come out?

Lol, it was, but at the same time I wouldn't be upset at all if Ford started offering an AWD Mustang.
It would broaden its appeal, making it a viable purchase for the people in the snow belt that can only afford one car.
I'm actually shocked that Ford doesn't offer an AWD Focus these days ... the Focus RS is AWD so the chassis is obviously designed for it. There's lots of Focus sales in the mid-$20k range, add another $1500 or so for an AWD model, you'd have quite a luxurious little car, especially in a Titanium model.
That looks so weird, having the e-brake handle so far over to the left ...
Yeah I guess it was to much work to change that. Its not to bad to use, hood release is still on the left as well.
Am just happy that I have a Mustang now.

I actually don't mind it. I like the rear of the car more than the front end, that for sure. But, I do like the redesign.
What I really, really HATE about the car though, is the start/stop feature. I was shaking my head in disbelief and anger when I read that about the new Mustang.
Can you imagine pulling up to a stop sign/redlight and wanting to hear that glorious V8 rumble, but the car just goes quiet instead?!? STUPID!!

We had a rental Escape while my wife's Focus was getting serviced. My first experience with the start stop and I hated it. Thankfully there's a big button right next to the TCS button to turn it off. I wonder if a tune could turn it off entirely? I know on the Dodges you can have the cylinder deactivation turned off with a custom tune.

Yes,...there is a tune for Dodge vehicles. BUT,...if it's a 2016 or up, you need to switch out the PCM as well as have the tune. It can be deactivated every time you get into the vehicle, pain in the butt, but it can be done.
My buddy at work has a '15 Ecoboost F150 and he HATES the start/stop. He turns it off every single time he drives the truck.

Honestly, I know it helps them eek out every last decimal of an mpg for the CAFE laws, so it's kinda a necessary evil. It just doesn't make sense to me, to put all that extra wear and tear on engine parts, for 1/2 an mpg!

I honestly think it's to be more "eco-friendly". Cut down on emissions.
Someone did a test in their F150 on the F150 forums. One week with it activated and one week with it not activated. Same driving habits, same driving distances. Made not a change in MPG at all.
I got to drive the owner of my works new
2016 GT350! (Only 80 miles on it) every option!
Wow, I read all about this car and after driving it, all I can say is Wow!
I have driven 2013 Boss 302,2014 Gt500, and many other spins on the mustang through the years,
This is by far the best handeling and easiest to drive fast mustang I have ever been in!
Not as brutally fast as the Gt500 but overall my favorite factory mustang yet!

What did you think about the clutch? I absolutely hated it. Otherwise, I loved everything else.

Yes the clutch is different than my 2014 GT, but it reminded me of my center force race clutch in my 1965, very on and off feeling but I actually like that old school type of race clutch feel! (But I have had several race cars through the years with clutches that feel like that)
