What "5-speed"?

The quarterly report said their costs went up a billion (mostly materials & commodities if I remember correctly) in the quarter.

My knee is borderline now (altering the seat position helps), so maybe the change may happen this year or next. At 48-1/2, things seem to be deteriorating more quickly lately.

I have no cartilage in my left knee, so I feel ya. Had to trade in my only 2 year old '04 because I couldn't shift without severe pain. I actually found an automatic '03 Mach 1 that replaced it. Now I am relegated to the auto forever. Thankfully, Ford made the '11 a blast to drive!
Moral of the story: Don't be dissin the auto crowd. Not all of us are lazy, yuppie, window lickers.

I would give my ball bag to be able to drive a stick.

most of the of the people that buy auto are really just people that do nto like shifting. I think everyone understands that we have a few people in the mustang family that order a auto out of need rather then luxury or being lazy
