Anyone ever heard of uninformed electorate?

First thing I thought of. Just another example of the ever failing education system.

They probably vaped too much THC.

They guy is a dweeb. I won't even begin to list the errors he made. Opinions are like ass holes.

Does your Youtube channel have 3,000,000+ subscribers (that's three MILLION for the boomers)?

I thought so.

LOL

Part of the problem stems from Fords targeting younger people like this Doug in their advertising. At $40,000 how many 'young' people could afford them? And that was a long time ago..

Well . . . there is that small center console storage.

Just put your stuff on the rear seat.

Number of followers means NOTHING - history proves that.

It's of no concern that the TBird is not loved, I got it because I happened to like it, warts and all. On a personal level I'm not impressed with the reviewer, but I don't have to be, and can simply stop viewing it and do something else more interesting. Not a big deal, but what this and other Youtubes represent is a different matter.

As a personal observation, beyond the varying levels of histrionics about the review, there's the new -to this time period, paradigm of: "likes", "followers", "subscribers", etc., and those who would be followed. This has never happened before on this level because the technology didn't exist. This is what I might refer to as a cultural shift to a new normal. It seems to parallel a brilliant essay by Susan Sontag about why we take pictures, which appears simple until the layers of "why" complexities are revealed. If, as Newman mentions, the narrator has 3 million subscribers, there are others in myriad topic areas with more, or less. Consider the implications, the ramifications by numbers, and then it becomes a bit frightening. It is happening. We are able to observe it, and it promises to be quite the wild ride. None of us with any age -even Sci-Fi buffs, would have seen this global scale of connection actually happening. It's absolutely fascinating.

Another thing, I do not need to push any buttons down on the top edges of the windshield before I put my convertible top up. This appears to be the screws used to snug the front of the hardtop down once in place. I have talked to others that agree with me. Is anyone else aware of having to do this?

no, but if you had just removed the hardtop and the top screws were still up it might be a good idea to push them down. of course you would not do that again till the hardtop was put back on then off again then again I do swap out the hardtop and have never considered the screws

note: on page 52 of my 2004 owners operator manual it does say to push the 2 screws on the header down, Doug's still not informed well though

That does not mean he is right. Look at at how many people believe tRump.

So you have less than 10 - is that right?

My youngest son texted about the video. It must have come up when he was viewing youtube. There's 3800 comments already as of now on his video. He was kinda whiny for my tastes. I think the car is a blast to drive and is has very fast steering response and who cares if it's not super stiff in the suspension. I don't need that. It does fantastic on curvy roads. 280 hp in this thing will certainly be more fun than a small Miata or so. It's probably the fastest Tbird in acceleration. Only perhaps the superCoupe might be faster.

Just because he has a lot of people listening to him doesn't make his opinions any more valid than anyone else's. The same can be said for the guy with 68 million following his twitter account or the 7 million people that have made the Houston metro area their home. I'm more than happy to not be counted in any of those groups

You have just proved my point to all my posts on this thread. I don't NEED someone to approve of my decisions, just like I don't need YOURS. What I like about the car is what I like about it - and I couldn't care less about someone else's opinion of it. If you need that validation, then that's on you.

And just because you started this thread does not mean everyone's going to agree with YOUR opinion...and it seems you're having trouble with that.
