The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) X

b15 · 02-17-2014, 12:53 PM

Have about 100miles behind the wheel of the Mustang now. Initial observations:

-This is not a sports car. The seating position is high and suspension is firm but sloppy.
-The 3.7 v6 sounds even worse then the stock VQ37vhr up top; It's not a pretty sound. It does, however, pull fairly nice up top which was a nice surprise.
-AT is lethargic, and it only has the stupid +/- buttons on the shifter. You floor it and it thinks for a second or two before changing gears.
-Interior fit and finish is OK, although not my style. I like the center screen in the speedo cluster that has multiple display options. The 'Shaker' stereo isn't bad.
-Ride is quieter than the Z, but that's expected of a trunk vs hatch.

So my new tool chest came with a single liner that is supposed to go on top of the chest. These are the liners that you can you get for the drawers that you pay out the nose for if you buy them through Craftsman. I was at Walmart to buy some Mobil 1 for the Acura this weekend and based on the recommendation of my wife, spent $9 on a roll of kitchen drawer liner that I think is much nicer. The liner that came with the tool chest is more of a foam material, and feels like it would tear easily under the weight of some tools. The kitchen liner is more of a rubber material, and seems much sturdier. The $9 roll completed all 6 shallow drawers (~10" deep) on the top and middle chests, and two of the four deep drawers (~16" deep) in the bottom chest. My only complaint would be that the roll is only 20" wide and the drawers are more like 22" wide, but it doesn't bother me enough to pay more money for lower quality materials.

Guess the snow is pretty bad at home. Another 5-9" on top of the 65"+ we have.
