had to drop out of flight school as i just couldn't land the damn things. Once i almost clipped a pole!
Kudos to you all that can park the 05 stang. i sat in 2 at my dealer and i could not tell where the front was. i figure i could mount flags at each corner, but, i think i would get laughed at.
When i park my 67, i can see well enough to pull in an inch away from a stray grocery cart. with the stang forget it.
I see why SUV's might be so popular. maybe they can see!
My next choice is the Chrysler 300C SRT-8.
Meanwhile i'll keep my 67.
I like the 05 stang, too bad i'm not skillful enough to drive it. :sad:

Hey, all you have to do is learn the limits. Give the car in front of you a tap when you're parking into a space. Then you'll know you've gone too far, heheh.

Hmmm. Strange that I did not have any issues when I drove one. Felt comfortable with the car.

maybe you just shouldn't be driving at all if you can't not hit things.

i just don't want to scratch/dent the new car; no problem with my 67 or 61. all the old cars have a raised edge or some feature on the nose. the 05 is smooth and rolls down shaped like an egg. have you guys actually autocrossed the 05 yet? can u see the cones as u get close? i don't see how. it's worse than my 72 stingray. it is the worst i have ever seen. even my 72 has a crease in the fenders and an L88 hood , both give a good reference point. i can go thru a toll booth at 75 mph. can u with the 05 WITH CONFIDENCE?
