looks like it was a busy night here.................
first off, to the other members criticizing CNY, remember, he is entitled to his opinion. 
(j/k'ing)
but i disagree with your statement about them always having been junk. my Dad has owned both Ford & Chevy/GMC trucks over the years, and all of them have been great.
using your ideology, the same could be said about GM, if you take the Vega/monza into acount. but those fall into the Pinto catagory too.
personally, i just don't like Ford trucks (the new ones, especially the Raptor's), 'cause they're just ugly out-of-the-box, IMO.
my personal philosophy has always been.......if it looks good, sounds good, & goes fast, i like it. i don't care if it's a Ford, Chevy/GMC, Dodge, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Toyota/Lexus, BMW.................you get the point?
but i do luv my Chevy's!
absolutely! 
and the colour is even better when there aren't any other ones around!
you have noooooo idea how hard it was not to lay a little beat down on it. had to keep looking @ the odometer to remind myself she's still tight & new.
i'm pretty sure my Dad knew i was itching to rip on it, 'cause he just smiled each time i opened it up a bit.
you nailed the order perfectly brother. of course that would have to be a SRT8 Challenger!
personally, i think the biggest issue with the new Camaro's design, is it looks like they let the boys @ Cadillac division design the damn car!
in case it wasn't obvious............i absolutely hate the Cadillac division styling since they came out with the 2001 Escalade, and everything else has followed since.
thanks for the compiments on his new ride, he's definately impressed (as was i) with how nicely everything is fit & finished.
i actually feel like i have more room in his 'Stang (for my legs anyways) than i do in my current Blazer. @ least my right leg wasn't resting on the edge of the center console in his 'Stang.

The Blazer's foot room, while adequate, is not as expansive as one would think. The transfer case takes up a lot of room as well as the center console. It feels much more likea sedan than a pickup when you sit (granted, that all changes when you start moving).

that was in '07 Pat.
ummmm..............the t-case has nothing to do with the console, let alone the floor pan of the trucks. 2WD/4WD trucks share the same pans.
personally, i feel it's just a s**ty design of a console. it seems like they just made it to fit short little old ladies................which is funny, 'cause that's what owned mine!

The new mustangs are nice...would rather have a '60s model, though. But, even then, I would NEVER pay for a Ford. Had a Ford for 12hrs once and it left me on the side of the road. That's what I get for letting a Ford-guy work on my Camaro.
Even with all the stats, and all the extra stuff these new Mustangs come with, I wouldn't even trade in my Blazer for one.
And, yeah, the Blue is AWESOME!! lol Perhaps the only thing I like on it. But, that's my opinion after all. You're dad and his wife are lucky. That is a pretty sexy ride.
