Looks nice! Although I must admit there are way too many Mustangs around here, and i'm sure that is the case in most parts of the US
I've got to chime in and stick up for the automatic transmission, which not only is generally more reliable and more consistent than a manual, can be made to be faster than a manual in otherwise equal cars. A manual is indeed fun to drive, more efficient, and faster when compared to most
FACTORY automatic counterparts, however i'm not about to let the transmission style have any effect whatsoever on any car I ever pick out. It irks the hell out of me when people see a car then go "Oh wait...its an auto" and let that be the base of their opinion of the car. Sure, its a preference thing, but I dont think it should be as big of a deal as everybody makes it out to be.
Again, nice looking car you have. I'm not a Ford person, did the 35th Anniversary edition have any special equipment that would not appear on any other year?
