OK - I drove the Mustang again today for ~75 miles.

Yes -another nice afternoon that had me cruising the local roads with the top down feezing my ass off until I had had enough and pulled over and put the top up.

Some thoughts.....

Some folks here really outta drive an old car (make that an old convertible).
I mean a car that has awful steering...
Numb brakes...
Wind noise up the kazoo...
Cowl shake...
Steering that is more of a suggestion than precise orientation.

And my car is just about literally NEW!!!!
We've come a long way, baby!!!!

I keep thinking how the Mustang is a sledgehammer compared to my 2002 being a surgical instrument in comparison (and they are only 5 years apart.....)

(And yes... I love each of them and wouldn't trade them for anything!!!)

You youngsters....
hehe...
