A few things that make me laugh (and drive me crazy) about my Mustangs. Has anyone else noticed?
The rear spoiler on the '85 is like a bathtub when you wash the car. Actual gallons of water pool up in the thing. You really could bathe small children, raise goldfish, or survive a week in the desert with all that water. Engineers! What were they thinking?
So along come the '87+ cars, much improved: the tub is redesigned - only as large as a good-sized birdbath now.
Today I was caught out by the rain in the '89, and turned on the wipers for the first time in a year or so... I actually laughed out loud at the wimpy little things flapping around on the windshield. After years of driving newer cars with huge, effective wipers, it was a funny sight.
Last, but not least: Why can't Ford figure out how to make the ignition work like the foreign cars? You know, where you can shut the engine off without turning the stereo off? When I arrive at my destination, and I'm rocking out with Lenny, I want to be able to shut the gas sucker off without interrupting the music. Why can't they figure it out?!
