I plan on having fun with cars and other adrenaline generating activities, no matter what my age. The lady friend will have to get used to that.

The automatic temperature controls and the touch-screen navigation system have to go together. The climate controls are integrated into the touchscreen as well - you can adjust the temperature, fan, etc. using the touchscreen. That integration wouldn't work properly with manual controls.

Ford could move the automatic temperature control into the comfort package... if they did that, they would have to either also include auto temp in the Electronics Package, or require the Comfort Package with the Electronics Package.

As far as MyFordTouch goes... the system is fantastic. Will love to see how that gets integrated into the Mustang going forward.

You know, you have a Mustang GT now, but in five years when you're married and have a family, you'll trade it in on a Toyota with good gas mileage and an automatic like a good law-abiding citizen.
A 40k car is moderately expensive?

Only compared to the kind of cars people might be expecting out of people in that situation like a Camry or an Accord or, heck, even a Genesis, which would easily go for $10,000 less and be cheaper on gas. For some, that's a lot of money.

For a sports car though you really can't beat a Mustang for affordability and value.

As far as I'm concerned, my car will be a Mustang for all eternity. My first car was a Mustang. My second car was a Mustang. My- well, wait, I'm only on my second.

There are many assumptions there, and they apply to 95% of the population, but it can cause problems with a relationship when later on you suddenly clarify that this is your lifestyle, as it makes you look like you're being irresponsible by insisting on getting a new sports car when you say you need a new car, and money she expects to have in her mind suddenly won't be there, and so on. Just have to make sure she knows this is an aspect of you, and this won't change. Of course you can still be reasonable about it and not sell your daughter into prostitution for a Corvette ZR1, but you catch my drift. If I get married, I'm making sure it's to a girl that will let me keep my lifestyle.

Alright, I've exceeded my soap box quota for the day.
Well said. I've been married for over 2 years now, and my wife knows that cars will always be part of my life. She has no problem with that.
