That won't work.

I doubt the average gas thief will have a funnel to fit the Mustang hanging off his belt. They will go for the easy tanks to steal from. Besides, punching a hole in the bottom of the tank is much faster and they don't have to deal with the repair.......

In my 60 years, I have had one gas theft....out of a '45 Ford truck in '68....does it really happen that often now?

I have always put my sunglasses on top of the mirror. Works great.

I have found that the door defroster vent is a perfect place to slot my sunglasses into. They just slip right in and don't bother anything.

My biggest thumbs up right now is how solid the interior is - though the car only has 1200 miles on it right now. By this time, my Infiniti had already begun to exhibit numerous interior rattles - just got used to them over time.

Biggest thumbs down - the wheel gap and my inability to launch the car. I can solve the first problem, and hopefully the latter problem with more seat time.
