Oh, for Pete's sake! "Whilst" (sorry, that threw one of you off dead center) I'm at it let me explain why I rented a Mustang...because I wanted to! How's that? When I went to the Trans Am Nationals last year with my son (who owns a Trans Am), I rented a Mustang because I didn't want to rent a Buick LeSabre or some other such vehicle. The 04 Mustang sucked...plain and simple. Well, I happen to like the looks of the 05 Mustang, so I thought it would be good to compare last year's model and this year's model. Also, I did not want to rent some family sedan. Would I rather have a Mustang than a Corvette? NO!! But, that's not the issue! So, maybe I should be taken out and shot for driving the Mustang. I felt out of place on Hilton Head Island with the Mustang. That is the land of BMW's and Mercedes. Whatever!!! By the way, Hertz didn't have any Corvettes to rent!

Too bad the couple in the Vette jumped to conclusions.

It's good to just appreciate cars.
