i get a e-newsletter from I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference On Auto Collision Repair). they had an article about the new mustang's repair information. thought some of you would find it cool to know about what goes into repairing your car. we have seen too many threads about someone damaging our cars!!! amnit:

I think it's pretty cool stuff. I had always heard speak that the S197 Mustangs had a very good crash rating and were relatively cheaper with insurance companies due to how Ford designed the Mustang to absorb impact.

Sure enough, my insurance went DOWN $3.00 a month from my 2003 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS to my 2006 Mustang GT.

Click to expand...

I also saw people mentioning that on the forums before my car got delivered. I have the Active Anti-Theft but my owner's manual says nothing about this feature. I am very interested in this also...

HERES THE SCOOP on the global windows. FORD discontinued this feature VERY early in the production run. they had problems with the windows rolling themselves down in the rain. if you have a early production 2005 and the active anti-theft, then you may have the global window feature. if you meet these requirements, you can try to use the feature. FORD told techs to turn this feature off on cars earlier this year and discontinued the feature all together. to try it, just hold the unlock button on the key fob and the windows will roll down. chances are that you dont have this feature!! amnit:
