28 years old and the cruise control still works!

Man, I love this car!

Even the little light inside the ashtray works.

Crazy.

Unfortunately, I'd trade both of those silly things for the AC to work!

LOL

Ha! Well, as nice as the T-Tops are, the summer Texas sun ensures that any joy of having an open air car is quickly erased by the scalp melting heat!

The 87 Hatchbacks were the first Mustangs that I actually loved, wound up getting a 89 vert new. Lost that one in a divorce, great cars! Had some unforgettable good times in that car!!

The A/C is the only thing in my 93 LX that doesn't work and I think it just needs a recharge. I was pleasantly surprised that things like cruise control, remote hatch release, lumbar support, rear defrost and power windows/locks/mirrors still work after 22 years. In comparison, my previously assigned work vehicle (2007 Impala with less miles than my Fox), lost the rear defrost back in 2012 and needed heater-core line replacement shortly after that.

I do need to mention that my driver's side door lock needs to be replaced, so I believe my car qualifies as "needing work' and should be allowed to stay on the forum 88 orangepeel notch
