Aw the good ol' days of holding your drink between your legs and opening the little wing window for AC. I do miss them days, but wife wouldn't have any of it.

Just like my '08 150 & '85 Ranger. Kept coming back for more.

Only problem with the no cupholders, was the "Oh Chit" stops trying to hit the brake,push the clutch and hold your beverage between your knees all at the same time. Kind of like a contortionist. I think I perfected it there for a while.

Hell, that was called driving. That seperated men from the boys...brake, clutch, shift, drink, clutch, shift, drink, turn, clutch, shift. Whats worst? Blackberry, clutch, shift, turn, drink, clutch, shift, blackberry.

What? You mean they actually make a stick/manual in the age of the Blackberry? Sounds like bigfoot to me. Always hear about it, but have never seen it!

Oh sorry, forgot they still make the Stang with a stick. Was thinking of the 150 and basically every other car DD on the road, other than a 6spd SD or 5spd Ranger.
