So, yesterday, I back out of my driveway and start down the street on the way to do some errands. Ahead, I see a blond haired kid. Couldn't be more than 6 years old on a bicycle. Of course, I slow down (And so should you this time of year! Kids are getting out of school and are out doing kid things!). I assume he hears my exhaust. So he turns his head around and does a double take. Just then, I see him start to wobble...more...and more....and MORE....until he falls over, and lays all tangled up in the bike by the side of the road. So I slowed down even more once I reached him and just as I get close he looks up with a huge smile and yells "NICE CAR!!!". Haha, I could have died. No doubt he'll be a Mustang owner one day!

The ironic part of this story is that about fifteen minutes later, I'm exiting the highway, coming down the ramp which empties into a big intersection. I have a green light, so I put on my turn signal in prepartation for a left turn. As I'm about to enter the intersection, a Jeep Wrangler comes barreling through, running his red light. I saw him at the last minute and was able to stop. However, if I wouldn't have...well, I probably would not be typing this message. I do have side airbags, but he would have t-boned me doing at least 70mph. Ouch.

Point being...if our Mustangs were not such loud badass cars, that kid would have never heard me, never stopped to look, never fell...and I would not have been running the 3 seconds behind needed to avoid that accident.

Most of us here have Mustangs that rule our lives(or at least part of it). Maybe someday, it just might SAVE it!

Until next time, Peace, Love, and Mobil 1.

why couldn't they have just taken a longer ****, or took their time when brushing their teeth, or said a prayer before they left the house, or drive a little slower, or beat off a little bit longer, or stopped to get a cheeseburger in the drivethru?

:D

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.
