I don't remember the F-150 being a model of the Mustang. Maybe it is a
new Sporty model by Carroll Shelby? You are welcome to your choices. I had
great luck with Chrysler products and am doing fine with my Honda SUV.

How long have you been this stupid? Is it a recent occurrence,
or have you been this stupid since birth?

It took 6+ years of college I guess. But tell me is that a Shelby F-150? Or
just the GT model?

Concur with Mark - my 2000 Ranger has had NO Problems - my 2000 Corvette is
the same. I must admit my wife's Cadillac Seville has had a few - most of
the time an independent repair shop gave up on finding the problem because
they lack Cadillac's expensive diagnostic machines - they are different from
the rest of GM.
