yellow - Amen. I've been raised in quick cars, and I can't DREAM of driving something because it looks cool. I wouldn't be driving a 3rd Gen F-body if I cared THAT much about status (even though I keep mine in top shape.. )
Axelay - My defection isn't complete... and perhaps.. I'm just returning to my roots. When I was four, I remember my dad having a cherry red 1964 1/2 Mustang. According to him, the engine was frozen, and so, it sat in the yard for about a year until a buddy of his offered him $500 for the thing. Well, needless to say, the engine was FAR from frozen and I'm not even GOING to say how trivial the problem ended up being. Oh yea, Dad still recieves a Christmas card from his friend, with pictures of his (former) all original Mustang, its engine bay chromed up and painted, in the guys garage.....
The sad and pathetic thing was.... I used to sit in the car, and pretend it was mine. So, even from childhood, I've been a closet Mustang fan.
