I just bought a new Mustang GT. It has no ashtray or lighter.
So do you think this might be a good time to quit smoking?

1. Sorry, a Mustang without a lighter or ashtray is not a true Mustang.
You bought a poser. Call your dealership and complain.

3. my Altima doesn't either
I just noticed the other day, since I don't smoke. It does have an outlet where the lighter would be, so I guess someone could stick a lighter in it.

4. And the owner's manual from Mrs R's Volvo S60 2.5 T AWD says:
Edited on Sun Nov-27-05 01:38 AM by Redstone
"Volvo automobiles sold in North America do not have ashtrays or cigarette lighters as standard equipment."

I guess they've never been to Quebec, where everyone still smokes everywhere all the time.

Fuck it, if Ford doesn't want to give you an ashtray, just open the window and flick the ashes outside.

9. It's always a good time, maveric.
I have a dear friend who is dying from emphysema. He can't even talk to me on the phone anymore. :cry:

Anyway, you don't want to stink up your new car ... and dumping the ashes and butts out the window is not cool. Good luck.

:hug:

10. My car doesn't either and I smoke too. Good for you if lack
of an ashtray will make you quit. I found a glass that fits in my cup holder perfectly and I use that for an ashtray.

But, I've only had 3 cigarettes in my car since I bought it - which is about .005 of the number I would have had if there was an ashtray.

Part of it is the lack of an ashtray and the other part is I just don't want to hear the grief from my kids if they smell smoke in the car.

11. Our new Mustang isn't a GT, but it has an ashtray and lighter.
Did they need extra room for the V-8?

Had both an ashtray and a lighter...
