Default **** Falling Apart

I can't stand half the cheap plastic **** that keeps falling apart on my car. I know it's a bargain Muscle car, and I don't mind cheap interiors, they're all I've ever known, but holy ****, this is retarded.

Driving yesterday and some rubber/plastic **** stats hanging out of my mirror. It was some kind of rubber insulator or something. I"ll get a picture of it later. Hopefully it'll let water into my mirror and short everything out.

Today, I was planning on attempting to vacuum up in the rear deck area under the rear window. So I go to pull the driver seat up and the damn black plastic thing that acts as a lever breaks off of the metal arm.

Now I'm going to have to super glue it since something small and plastic broke.

Pictures to come!

I love my car, but I hate it's ****![:@][:@][]

True, be glad stangs don't have 2 or 3 times more electronics. I hate electronics more cause when they fail it's not always permanent, it could fail sometimes then work a few min later. And my job is electronic based.

Fords are notorious for stuff like that. Just little crap here and there that will nickel and dime you to death to get fixed.
