Default Uh oh....

I let my fiance drive my car yesterday. I let her get up to 111mph. You shouldve seen the grin on her face while watching the speedo!!!! :eek: I said, "Dont want a mustang anymore huh?" She said, "I am not sure now." Maybe shes wearing down!! :smash: :crazy:

Find a winding road in your area and let her drive both cars down it. Also let her get the stang up to 111 and see the handling difference. Stangs are cute when they are new, but 2 years down the road nobody will even give it a second look. :chevy

Driving a Corvette's the best way to convince someone a Rustang ain't "all that"! ;)

I hit 112 once in my Mustang. It was fun. Until the steering wheel started vibrating like a possesed demon and I couldn't hold the car straight anymore. :jester :smash:

My girlfriend bought a brand new GT three months ago.

She decided not to get a convertable after riding in my 'vette with the targa off. :rolleyes:

If she is anything like most of the females out there, she is still better off with the stang. The stang is easier to get in and out of. Has alot more room for all the Macy's, Sears, Grocery etc bags. A vette is not for everyone. :crazy:
