Something trivial that I would like

[ChickStang02]

It's something that you guys probably think is trivial, but I would loveee to have an OUTSIDE temp. gage in the new stangs. Like my jeep, I really dep. on it, because we have such bad weather. That way I know when things are starting to freeze or if the roads are still ok,.....just a thought.

The new Stangs are heavy enough without all of the extra fancy electronics. Ford's taken a lot of heat over the weight of the new car, and I'd expect them to be putting money into going on a diet before they add more fancy stuff.

That's my $0.02 anyway.

It probably wouldn't work right if they did put it in the car anyway. Like SilentNoise said I'd rather them concentrate on taking some things away.

Personally, if I want to know the temp outside I'll go to weather.com or drive by a bank.

Hmm...ok...you live in ohio. I used to live in NY by buffalo. Here is how we used to determine if the roads were freezing over or not. We asked ourselves these questions:

1.) Is today's date between October 1 and June 1? If yes, there is a good chance the roads could be freezing over at any second.

2.) When I walked to the car, did the snot freeze in my nose? If yes, the roads are freezing over.

3.) Have we received any snow/rain/ice in the last couple of hours or has it been warm enough to melt the existing snow and now it is cold enough to make me wear a jacket? If yes, there is a real good chance the roads are freezing over.

4.) Are the show plows out? If yes, the roads are frozen.

If you use those 4 basic questions, you should be able to determine with decent certainty whether the roads are frozen or not without adding luxury car items to a pony car. The only think the mustang needs is a big engine, a means of steering, a means of stopping, and some seats. Beyond that, keep that luxury stuff for the chargers of the world.

You guys get Red Green down there? Crazy. How about The Trailer Park Boys?

I don't know about NY, but here, the weather changes w/the lake effect in a matter of mins. It'll drop fifteen degrees in less than five. I don't feel like it's the big of a luxary. There are many many things i would like to change to my car, or the new one i hope to get. Like the fact that EVERY thing you have to buy feeds the after market....unlike the camaro......EVERYTHING. Why do we have to add c.a.i , superchargers,nitrous,gears all sorts of things to a 3 1/2 ton car? Because there are so many hard core mustang enthusiast that Ford knows, they will get bought. So my husband bought a brand new (when we graduated) 97 z27 ann. edition, white/orange stripes, beautiful. I hated it because it was a camaro, loved it because it was fast. It's sad that five years later, My car, isan't much more than that was. By keeping to the "original" and not dumping money in it to overhaul, yes we get to keep the heritage, no we get no more power. SO go ahead "humor" me, and my girlie luxeries, but eh....if those things will get new drivers in new stangs, and keep them selling why not?

For the record...since I didn't mention it before...I lived in the middle of both lake erie and lake ontario...this lake effect you speak of...I am very much familiar with.....and it was my primary motivation to move south...where the only lake effect I deal with here is some patchy fog once in a while.

[ChickStang02]

*pouting*


I want to move south too! We're like eskimo's here, two seasons, cold, and colder. It was 74 degr. yest. it's 36 at the moment, w/40 mph winds. And snowing. grrrrrr. Someone send me a ticket, I"m outta here
