Default My car causes a decrease in MPG for Fords

I've noticed that the local Mustangs just have to rev their engines (it is a rather nice exhaust note) when they pass my house and my car is in the driveway. I view it as a military type thing-sort of liking saluting their superior. James

It is strange, isn't it? I notice a lot of them veer mysteriously to the right on to side streets.

Chevy and Dodge trucks seem to have that problem here as well.

I've got a neighbor who got a brand new stang about 2 weeks before I brought the Vette home. I heard him weep when he realized the vette was here to stay.
