Printed My Owner's Manual

[Frogdog1]

Since Ford thinks it's OK to not supply a printed owner's manual with its' Mustang GT's (and all Mustangs) with a nice(?) computer in them, with a well over $50,000 MSRP, I just printed my own today. I had it printed on good 28# paper, put it in a nice ring binder and can both read it at home as wanted or needed or put in the car if I want......all 546 pages. Now, I don't have to rely on, or ask questions on a forum, or try to do a manual search on the slow computer in my GT.

It didn't cost that much to have it done but I still think it's sinful for Ford to not supply a printed version of what every car manufacturer wants owner's to read. Just because it's on the computer..........we know the rest........

You don't need to print the internet. Mines downloaded on my phone.

I wanted to print what is on the internet. I didn't need a Mustang either.

Like RLE55 said: "I bet a lot of folks have done that...... "

I'm old school, like to read manuals, instructions in paper form vs. pc's or iphones....print is to small for my old eyes.

They can be purchased... already printed, through Helm Inc. The searchable pdf and on screen in car all work fine for me.

How many ink cartridges did you use? My printer might need a few to print out 546 pages lol.

Good question, Paul's stable.

I wasn't very articulate in my original post. My bad. I said both: "I printed and had printed".

I paid a place to print the manual because I didn't have, nor did I want to buy, a pile of 28# paper which is what I wanted it printed on, and I didn't want to use my printer or my ink.

The cost was reasonable to me, I got a discount for some reason (didn't question it after it was offered), and I got a discount due to store points my wife had accumulated.

I would think anyone that can afford to put gas in a GT can afford to have a manual printed.....

Why? Too easy to order one.

Why? Too easy to order one.

Easier and quicker for me to just make a round trip of about 8 miles while I had business next door anyway and just get it done in about 20 minutes, then 4 miles home to get exactly what I wanted. That was my decision and preference, that's why. What it did or didn't cost me was not a concern. I'm happy!

They makes these things called reading glasses. I'm literally using them right now. Technology is a wonder.

20 bucks says someone in this thread is still printing MapQuest.

I bet a lot of folks have done that......

You think a lot of folks print 546 pages on 28# paper, put in in a 3 ring binder, and then carry it around in their car instead of just ordering a manual online?

AZ_Ryan, is my OP or something about me bothering you?

It seems to bring out passive/aggression in you as you keep trolling my posts one way or another.

If my life, what I do, what I post, how I live, how I spend time and/or money or anything else about me bothers you, there is an "ignore" function I suggest you use on me and my posts. Feel free to call me names too if I bother you that much. That might make you feel better as well.

But, for heaven's sake, don't do anyone a favor today.

Just curious what it cost? Does it fit in the glove box? Not knocking your choice... but a comparison for those considering the same vs a pre printed one may be helpful. Thanks .
