The new-for-2004 Mustang looks like they finally did it right, instead
of reskinning begged, borrowed or cast-off platforms.

I'm just under 5'11".  I test-drove, or rather tried to test-drive, an
'82 or so Mustang in '87 or thereabouts.  I wasn't able to actually
drive it because, thanks to the unspeakably awful pedal placement, my
knees were already hurting within minutes of getting into the car,
before I'd even started the engine.
