    damn i'm 6'3, and i have a size 15 foot... so between my foot getting stuck trying to do the clutch and it being impossible to fit anyone behind me, i kinda wish the general interior layout was a bit more roomy... that and the shifter location being a bit odd... Out of curiosity, does anyone else have trouble putting drinks in the cup holders and being able to shift into 2nd and 4th? I seem to crush cups when i try to shift, so I've given up using the cup holder closest to the shifter...

    Another good point that may not be applicable to most people; but as a corrolary to the thought, this problem is even worse when you have four or five point harnesses in the car, which (when adjusted properly) do not allow you to lean down or forward to shift. If you can't reach it with your shoulders flat into the seat back, then you just can't reach it. I really noticed this with my new harnesses in my GT with the Pro5.0, had to get a new shift lever to reach it if I wanted my belts tight.

    LOL~ So it's not just me. You get a large 32 ounce cup (with a straw) in one of those things and your shifting posture is toast. Oh well, you can't have everything, right?

    I will not see one until they are available at dealers so count yourself lucky you may very well see it live long before me. I've got a minimum of 7 more months of waiting. :(

    It is no longer at the Petersen Museum. It was only there for the morning, then went on to Sunrise Ford. It was part of the 40th celebration. Part of it was done by Ford to get the 1st hardtop out also.

    Since these cars seem to be making the rounds, anyone have any ideas on finding out locations/dates when the '05 will be available for drooling over in person?
