There have been some people who wanted to know more about The Death Star (for which I received black furry dice this morning)... so for those people here are some details (for the rest of you there's nothing to see here people, nothing to see)
So it's a 2008 Ford Mustang coupe premium with a 4.0l V6 engine and a manual transmission (automatics ae for grannies and people who get whipped cream in their hot chocolate)
As well as all of the standard bits and pieces (6 CD rafdio, satellite, a/c and 6 way electric driver's seat... what was wrong with a lever?) it's also got 17 inch wheels, leather bucket seats, abs, traction control, a 'satin' interior upgrade and all manner of bells and whistles.
It's lossening up nicely and threatening to be a bit of a monster. So far I'm averaging about 25mpg US (that's 30mpg UK) which isn't bad when you consider that Ann Arbor is the stop sign capital of teh western world. It's ridiculous. I stop every 50 yards or so. The lights too suck - they're less synchronized than Stephen Hawkin during a power outage and tend to stay on red longer than Garth Gates did on the letter 'T' (was he the stutterer?)
But we're having fun. And ultimately that's what it's all about. That and hauling shopping - which it does in the enormous truck (boot).
And that, fact fans, is the last car post I'll be making. Unless something happens.
