Default Is This Why Mustangs Hate Us

I stopped a local gas station getting gas. The triple black Vert was looking good with the chrome C6 Motorsport rims.

A white convertible mustang pulls up to the pump right next to me. I see him checking me out and I acknowledge him with a head nod and he ignores me.

Right after that, an F250 pick up truck pulls up behind me. The guy gets out of the truck and immediately started talking about how good my car looks to him. It was like I paid him to do it because it was really a little over the top. I was a little embarrassed but proud nevertheless.

But then I thought about my mustang brother right next to me; the one who ignored me. The F250 guy didn't mention the mustang at all or even acknowledge the driver.

I guess all is fair in Love and War

Mustang owners will always be jealous, imo its their fault they bought the pos. Ooo and do you love the ford commercial saying that the mustang sells the most in its class I dont doubt it since they mass produce those things like no other and every highschool girl has one

too!

Cars are cars, we just have favorites! (BTW To me comparing Corvettes and Mustangs are apples and oranges:Muscle/ Pony car Mustang, straight line performance...SPORTS car Corvette, straight line PLUS the road/track)

Hey, at least they're both American!

I am testing one out in the stable.
Thinking about buying one, so we rented for the weekend.
I personally like the looks of the new S197 body as it has a lot of late 60's early 70's in the car. My first car was a '68 Stang.

I just went down and snapped the pic. Sorry for the quality, but it is getting dark so early now.

i had alot of fun with my old 5.0l mustang. i didnt like it as much as my c5 by anymeans but, it had its good points. pretty darn quick in a straight line too. wasnt very great in the corners other than the good old standby " drifting". i am not saying that i would trade my c5 for a new one but, the new body mustang is pretty cool looking to me. and the magazine i got the other day showed a mustang monster that ford built with an outragious engine producing just under 600 horse power. dont think there isnt a bunch of those heavily modded mustangs out there that could whop azz on most everybodys stk and slightly modified c5s.

we naturally look better in our vetts though!!!!!!
and chevrolet does rule in my driveway.

Default Camaro

At least Ford was smart enough to keep building Mustangs, I can not say much for GM as they sure do not build a Camaro right now. I think GM is losing a lot of young people to Ford by dropping the Camaro even if they do start back up. I have never owned a Mustang but serveral friends have. Ford make good products, I just happen to like GM right now but I have had Fords before.

I love the last generation mustangs....

As far as the current is concerned, I cannot endorse them since one of my good buds has one that says "boss" on the side of it, neat looking car, but c'mon...

(BTW: I am his boss)

Healthy joking is as fun as picking on my neighbor (the Red Sox fan)..

I am a Yankee fan....

they dont hate us, you just ran into a dude who is that way all the time, work play etc.. It is his personality, its not the fact that he has a ford and you have a Chevy.

Same here...I like Mustangs...Had a 1967 fastback with a factory 390 in it back in the old days...Had to sell it when I got married..wish I still had it. Viper guys put down our Corvettes because they are mass produced. The last thing I am going to do is put down a Mustang or any other kick *** made in America car.
