Anyone else get that feeling? Like when you walk down the aisle of a store and half the crap is pink? Not that the breast cancer foundation doesn't have every right to market themselves aggressively, but something seems a bit wrong about it to me...like it's not about saving lives it's about selling products.

And with the pink Mustangs - Ford knows some dumb chick will buy those that probably wouldn't have otherwise bought a Mustang. So instead of her donating money to a good cause directly, she gives Ford a cut and feels all smug in the process.

Obviously I'm not saying I want women to die from breast cancer, just that this whole campaign/movements smells funny.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.
