I didn't realize the title would rhyme until I was done typing it...
Anyway, is anyone else annoyed by the fact that when the key is in the ignition it dangles down and rests on your right knee?
It's not like I carry a bunch of keys, I only have the Mustang key, alarm, and 2 other keys on the ring. I'm thinking of getting one of those detatchable key rings so that I can quickly remove the ignition key...

I guess I can't complain too much, I haven't had any of the other probs yet.

I hate it when you hit the trunk button on your keypad while at a stop light and when you go drive off your car starts screaming at you to shut your stupid trunk! haha

I use two key rings. One has only my Mustang key and remote on it. The other has all the other keys I need. Thus, no problem and no weight pulling on the ignition switch.

Hits my knee. The only thing to do is lower the seat.

When I'm using my key set, it doesn't hit my knee, and I have long thighs (I'm 6'4"). However, I keep the seat lowered down all the way. Wife, however, has a larger set of keys (with pepper spray, etc.) and when I drive with those keys they hit my knee even with the seat down all the way. I find myself wishing I could get the drivers seat even lower than the lowest setting in the '05. I preferred the seat position in my '94 gt vert, although the tradeoff is, the '05 is much easier to get out of.

I bought one of those detachable key chains that say "Mustang" on it, problem solved. It was available from the dealership if your interested.

Its sort of a pain in how the key hangs down and bumps your knee all the time - I've had to remove all the other keys and just use a Ford key while driving. Its one of the few things that somehow during design phase.
