I plan on keeping a box of disposable gloves for pumping gas, as that's pretty much the filthiest thing your hand can touch on a daily basis.

Also bought a pair of Mechanix Covert .5MM gloves for driving to try to preserve the Alcantara steering wheel since I plan on keeping this car for life. For those who are looking into driving gloves, I highly suggest these. They are super thin and breathable, not to mention it feels like a second skin.

I was just thinking of the steering wheel today... thought about just buying an extra one just in case. ;)

Wish Ford had offered Ruby Red and the electronics package in 2016 like they do in 2017.

Looking forward to getting the MGW shifter.

Wish all cars had the R suspension setup.

Love the car anyway, and am rapidly approaching 10,000 miles.

I make my daughter (11) taker her shoes off if I pick her up after school because she usually just played in the mulch play area.

She just automatically asks or puts em in the trunk now. If I can get her to say Shelby or GT350 insted of just GT. Gotta get the description right.

Terrible I know.

Btw, theres weathertech floor mats to help with that. Id be concerned about the seats though, I dont think there's a way to protect that :shrug:

Hi. I'm Gary, and I'm OCD. [*Hi, Gary.*]

I drove all the way home from Baltimore (where I took delivery) to Indianapolis wearing my Impact Racing driving gloves that I bought for HPDE events several years ago, because I don't want to ruin the Alcantara wheel. I plan to drive with them pretty much 100% of the time.

I also marked the forward position of the seat (when it is adjusted correctly) with a 1" x 2" piece of velcro cloth tape, so I can slide the seat back all the way when I get out and not wear out the side bolsters on the cloth Recaros, but still adjust the seat back to the correct position quickly every time I get in the car.

Dude. Got weather techs at the 56 mile mark. Still OCD. The point of the thread right? No judgement or retribution here

I have not a damn clue where the front passenger side wheel is 90% of the time when parking on the street so I end up "parallel parking" or at least using the backup camera to help me even when I could just pull up straight up.
