my first car was a 1980 Mustang. In theory this sounds like an awesome car for a teenage boy. In reality, the QC at Ford was horrendous.

AC and heater both broke. Cruise control would randomly engage at 35 mph. The horn was on the turn signal selector so you would randomly honk at people while trying to change lane. One of the side mirrors fell off. Got about 16 mpg with a 10 gallon gas tank, so don’t plan on driving too far. Etc.
