If you live where the sun shines, anything non-cloth sucks. I hate sticking to seats.

I've never owned a Mustang either if that counts.
Course I still have a lot of time to change that.Comment

Exactly. I think of riding in my grandma's '77 Grand Prix with full vinyl interior in the summer in San Antonio as a kid. I've hated anything other than cloth ever since.Originally posted by GM_Guy View Post—John

I grew up in the RGV (Rio Grande Valley, TX) and my mom had a 79 LTD-S 351 tudor (miss that car) maroon on maroon vinyl interior. The only thing that could have been worse than that would be black on black. 115F days and it would be well over 130F inside that car. We would start it up and crank the AC and just let it run for 10-15 minutes before even trying to get in.

Well, for all you who haven't owned mustangs, live a little! I'm not saying the fox mustang is a be-all end-all, but I've been in love with them for a long time. My older cousin had an '84 or so gt, that was super-cool, even though I was just a wee one. My dad bought a brand-new '92lx with chrome pony wheels and a 5-speed. My older brother was just old enough to drive after a fashion and we had some fun in that. Then he bought an '89lx hatch and we tore around in that. Once I was old enough, I bought an '82 capri rs5.0, and '82 ex-highway patrol mustang coupe, then a '90gt. Had a ton of fun in each one, including the back seats, for those of ill-flexibility. Hell, for that matter, as mustangs have developed, their back seats have gotten worse, but my daughters could well have been conceived in the back of an '03 mustang gt. Pretty sure they weren't but with the amount of action that went on, bloody well should have. If you don't understand the attraction and mystique of the fox cars, you haven't experienced it, and you should. I want at least a few more of them.

GM F-body fan here. WS6 suspension + 350 TPI engine & 5 speed swap = yay. Love that car and it looks like a sports car. Mine is a 305 TBI auto but at least has the WS6 goodies, four wheel disc brakes and posi.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Thanks. I've always felt the SVOs were incredibly unique cars. The '80s Mustangs have had a big influence on recent model years. I was expecting them to call the new Ecoboost Mustang and SVO. Surprised they didn't.Originally posted by Lincolnmania View Post
Thanks. Congrats on the coupe. I hope to have a classic in the stable someday.Originally posted by P72Ford View Post—John

I don't fit well into Mustangs. I have been in a few before, and its just not comfortable. The SN95 is like a contortion act to get into. I have a Mark VII, its like a Mustang with nicer seats and without the Vanilla Ice vibe.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I hear ya. I always have to sort of swivel on the seat and get out with both legs simultaneously with my '95. The tiny garages over here didn't help.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post—John
