But, when you don't fit, you don't fit...how tall is your friend? You know how big I am...too big for today's P-cars because of the less leg room caused by the body change needed for all wheel drive systems.

Update...dealer called again! Now looking at Saturday. No big rush. Question. Anybody here with litronic headlights? Ford calls them "HID"...but I think it's the same thing. Looks like my 'Stang has them...

Good choice. Let us know when you pick it up, and post some pics.
Sounds like a fun car. |

Yeah, I know it's a Bullit Mustang. But a picture with you in it would be nice, since we can't be at the christening.

I can't figure out the digital camera we have...smaller than it's owner's manual, and I have hands that one of can pick up a basketball. Well, I'll also confess to a lack of interest in the damned thing..Maybe in the future another pelican will come thru, then send me some of his digital pics...every digital post I make is done that way...

Paul - I have HID's on my daily driver and although the light they emit is brighter, they are so expensive when you need to replace a bulb or if anything happens to your headlight. To replace the bulb in my Passat was $120 and that was with a heavy discount of retail. Just something to consider, I'll never be tempted by the HID's again, for the original extra cost of the option, to replacement cost imo they are not worth it.

Matt, my BMW is 7 years old with the original bulbs. My wife's Mini is 3 years old with the original bulbs. I just don't hear about them going out all that often.

I had HIDs on the RX8 I leased a few years ago- it is NICE. I miss those headlights tremendously. On a dark, rainy night, I think its a safety thing- you really do see better and further.

Just saw this, fantastic choice!! One of my good friends here in L.A. has an '08 Bullit and I ride in it a lot lately. He drove me up to pick-up my truck in it. The funny thing is that I always think of you when I'm around that car because strangely enough, he has the hots for the new Challenger. I tell him over and over how much I prefer the car he has to the Dodge. Much better retro design, cooler car in the first place, coolest version of cooler car, etc., etc...
 The interior in a Challenger is truly garbage, in the Mustang it is the best that America offers. And a beautiful rendition of a great dash design and seats. We had a new '67 Mustang coupe w/ 289 h.o. and the first Firestone Wide Ovals in Hunter Green, so between that and the great movie/car/star, you have picked my favorite American car. They got everything right on it, the sound/color/wheels/etc., it's the bomb. Congrats!  With my dad in '67, you can see our new 'stang in BG:
