Well i just wanted to see what you guys think, why in the **** does Ford NOT make any sort of "Oh crap handles" in our mustangs?
I took my gf for a ride the other night and she said something to me about it when i was rally-ing on a freeway on-ramp...

One thing I always wondered, was every Manual car or truck that I've been in (aside from my Mustang), has had the handles on both driver and passenger side. An automatic vehicle however, would only have the handle on the passenger side. Now, if I were pulling some crazy stunts that required the use of the handle in the first place, I'd think that if it were a manual, both hands would be occupied! Why in god's name would they not at least give a handle to the driver in an auto? So weird!

And, I can completely understand a passenger's desire to want a handle, especially when they twist the seatbelt up so bad, it won't snug down.

My WRX had handles on all 4 seats. And they got used quite often. That thing would corner. You know something was bad when the driver was holding on for dear life.

My G/F and a female friend both complain about that all the time

I wouldn't mind one of those fold down ones on the passenger side.

if someone complains about not having a handle to hold on to...tell 'em to hold on to the shoulder belt

(or maybe slow down when your mom's in the car )
