Another - Is It Me
Great reads of all the past history. OK, I have another "Is It Me" and I'm sure it is, yet again... I note in pictures on the 2011 (and 2010) the radio controls are on the "Right" side of the steering wheel. Seems to me a better placement is on the Left side, especially if you have a manual and your hand will be resting on the shifter (inches away from the controls by the way). Ok, let me have it and tell me why you love the radio control on the Right side... cause it is more modern... laugh.

I was looking at some car pics and I came across this one. Thinking about the OP's comment that he wanted the interior to wrap around to the doors. Check this out. What's old is new and whats new is old. Guess what car and year.

Looks like a 1st generation T-Bird to me. As far as the radio control placement on the new Mustangs being on the righthand side of the steering wheel, ummmm, should someone really be changes stations/seeking MP3 files while shifting gears? Just my point of view

As to the CD's on the seat, that was a red herring. For some reason at that auto meet some garage band was dropping sample CDs on the seats of all the cars probably trying to get an audience and make a splash. This, and many other cars there did not have CD players. Fact is you can see the A/C ducts under the dash which was common in the 50's & 60's since they still hadn't for whatever reason incorporated them into the dash. This is a nice example of a car kept original to it's roots. It even has the optional Hula Girl on the dash (j/k)

A work bud of mine just got a 10 GT in the dark red color (not sure of the color name). Wow - the car is absolutely sick. The interior is killer!!! He got the premium with the light gray leather. I was drooling all over it today. I am really impressed with what Ford did with the 10s. I'm into all stangs and would go with this statement:
The 2010+ stangs are hands down the best modern muscle car, leaving the others in the dust in every regard...
Since we have tossed some exterior talk around in this thread - Because it was a friends I got a chance to really look it over, meaning looking over a 10 in person, always better than just pics... I totally dig the front, the hood, what they did with the rear quarters - and the rear just rocks - I really can't see what all the rear end bs is about it. In fact there was at least 3 other people drooling over the ride today and everyone's thoughts were - wtf are people thinking, the rear end looks great. I actually didn't think I would like the dark red from some pics I had seen, but man its a beautiful color on this car, shows the lines perfect. Of course we had to hear it growl from the back and watch the sequentials.... Bunch of 40+ children we are...
If I had the coin a 2010+ would be in my garage...
Have to forget about it and start enjoying my 09, glad I did some perf mods, I got on it all the way home and started looking at CAI upgrades when I got home...lol...

I was joking about the CD's - that car is older than 8-tracks. 05GT - Even in an automatic, I tend to rest my hand on the shifter. I'm not always driving while clutching the wheel in a 10-2 / 9-3 - sometimes, especially in traffic, one hand is on the wheel, one is on the shifter. Of course I can now hold a beer, shift and change the radio... OK, that was a joke for those without a sense of humor.
