You did not have the BBC as a kid.

Oh, but things have changed a lot. Now on New Years Eve, mrs humfrz and I just sit around in our jams, trying to stay awake, till the ball drops in NYC.

Oh BTW, that room that was built onto our house was paid for by my company and served as my office. They didn't have enough office space at the research center for me, so they built me a room onto my house.

Those were tough times, no kids, a company car, a new MGB in the garage and working from home -

The 'BTW' story paints such an idyllic setting for you and your employer until that is you mentioned the MGB in the garage!! Not so idyllic.. actually I'm being unfair as I ran a MGC GT for about 5/6 years no issues other than the normal wear and tear items such as bushes!!!

Even the interior dash sucks wind, not quite as bad as Model 3, but close enough.



We were really considering it for a potential replacement for MomHawk's Mustang in 2021 but not any longer.

If he's telling you... I feel like there's some interesting stories behind his reasoning haha

Most cars today are a little bit of design language on the same exact thing everyone else is doing. This is more the same as other SUV's, less Tesla IMO. At least, I think this one looks OK and Teslas bug me.

I keep hearing all this moaning, and don't understand. I think it has nothing to do with the results/cars, but don't know what it is. Change? Maybe. Oh well.

I think the front looks fine, but them squishing the Mustang taillights into the backend of a crossover looks terrible.

I think for me it's primarily the "grill blank" in the front although I suspect there will be plenty of aftermarket solutions for that. In general it could have been designed out though if they could have gone with more of a slotted front end. Maybe something more along the 2005 or 2010 models if they wanted to keep the "mustang look"

I'm about as much a tech guy as you'll ever find, but I absolutely hate the stuck on iPad look on the interior of a car. The dash should be designed to incorporate it, not give it a place to be glued on.

Performance wise, the AWD sport edition sounds great. The range is OK (I still want 500 miles) and the charging rate is what it is (too slow) but that's physics at this point.

[Lantanafrs2]

I would've preferred a faux grill myself but I really don't matter lol. I'll probably be seeing the back of them more than the front anyway
