I love the movie Bulitt but I've studied the chase scene pretty close and the reason that the Beetle keeps showing up is because that's really only one scene taken from multiple camera angles. There are are probably only 3 city scenes that are taken from multiple angles including in-car angles and that's what makes up the entire city chase scene. I'm not hating here, like I said I love that movie and the chase scene too.

Probably so, plus, I can't help but feel that the retro renaissance is behind us. I do love the look of that rendering though.

I know big Al has moved on but I'm a little surprise they didn't recycle the name given Mulally's reaction when he arrived at Ford and found out they quit making the Taurus.

While were ranting abut rules of the road I'll mention one more thing that annoys the heck out of me and that's people who feel like they have a God-given right to drive with their bright lights on as a default. My how things have changed in the 35 years I've been driving. At one time it was considered courteous to simply flash your brights lights at them as if to say " excuse me but your bright lights are on" but it seems that no longer works so now I just turn on my brights until they shut theirs off.

Quite frankly I wish my 07 GT500 would've come without a backseat. I absolutely hated the times I had adults back there and I decided 3 or 4 years ago that I won't ever haul backseat passengers around in that car again.

It's not so much talking on the phone that bothers me but the sheer number of people that are blatantly texting. They don't even try to hide it where I'm at here in South-Central Indiana. The ones that do think they're being covert about it can't even begin to hide it, a person has a unique look about them while they are glancing down at their phone. Maybe it's my age but these people scare the living shit out of me and a big part of me thinks that texting while driving ought to be hit as hard as drinking while driving. Admittedly I've not fully thought that one out but these people really torque me.

Agreed, and the horn functioned as intended!

My 13 MKZ has the push button shifters and I acclimated to them pretty quickly except for one time. A girl was backing out of a parking place at a CVS as I was approaching and as I stopped she kept backing up, instinctively I reached for the console shifter and in a split second remembered the buttons. That split second cost me a front fascia hit by a 20 year old girl in a ragged old Jeep Wrangler with no insurance. I still love the push buttons but I still reach for that shifter from time to time.

I think that's awesome. I remember you and I were cross shopping the same two cars at the same time. The SHO or the 13' MKZ. Funny you ended up with the SHO and me the "Z". The certificate is great, I have an 07 GT500 Red Appearance Package with a number 151 build according to my certificate. I have to be honest, I love the MKZ but always felt like I screwed up not getting the SHO instead. I'd love to trade the "Z" in for an RS. Just owning the GT500 makes me long for something a little more spirited for a daily driver.

I've expressed interest to my dealer in obtaining one and I've not yet heard a word on what their allocation will be. I like the idea that they're offering winter tires/wheels as an option. This car is really going to ratchet up the tuner/drifter segment as I can't see Subaru setting back while they get their butts proverbially handed to them in the horsepower department.

I can’t open the link for some reason. Anybody else have this issue?

I’ll leave production capacity and allocation to the experts on here but it’s great to see demand abroad for a truly American icon that is the Mustang. I sympathize with those that would like a Mustang but can’t get one. On the flip-side I would like to be able to get a LHD Falcon Ute here in the states.

I can relate, my wife has been after me to teach her to drive a manual so she can pilot the GT500. I've put her off 8.5 years but feel my luck may be running out.

I would love to see the F250’s and F350’s become more attractive but I think the price has really outpaced the common person. I wanted a SuperDuty for the longest time for household use but basically waited 15 years to buy a MY 99 while I continued to use my 93 F250. I don’t know if anything can bring the prices of these trucks down to a more manageable level at this point in time when you consider that one can easily dump $45,000-$50,000 into a F150 today. I just don’t think we can get that genie back in the bottle.

I’m currently in a holding pattern waiting for my dealer to let me know their allocation. I wonder if they should’ve heard something by now
