If I remember right the factory workers weren't pleased at all about that video. Great song and video nevertheless.

I can't blame the factory workers for not being pleased.

That reminded me of the cutest story to ever melt my icy heart...

The bf was eating lunch at Panera and it was packed, so an older couple asked if they could sit with him. Turns out they both started working on the Mustang assembly line in 64, then she was promoted to Mustang engineering in 70 and he was promoted to Mustang design in 70 as well. They have since retired and moved down to Florida, and they drove up in her 64.5 convertible and his 70 Mach 1 for the 50th anniversary events in Dearborn. Apparently they also swapped Mustangs every few hundred miles, but she prefers her convertible.

I tried to convince crzrsn into this hundred mile swap deal since I just put 500 more on the XJ and his Mustang is a bit more fun on the highway, but for some reason he wasn't having it.
