Ah, tomorrow will be a wonderful day. Why, you may ask? Well, because it won't be the Mustang's 50th birthday of course! I know I'm not the only one thinking this, but I didn't know what else to title this post. Deal with it, jerks.

While I completely understand the significance of the Mustang and love the idea of a pony car, I've never really liked them. Sure, the early fastbacks were nice. My grandfather has a silver one and its a very cool car that gets a lot of attention. However, after the first generation they've done absolutely nothing for me. I will say that I think the new generation is the best looking Stang since the late 60's, so maybe things will change.

And don't get me wrong, I appreciate the Mustang. I think it's great that such an iconic American design and name have been around for so long, and that it continues to grow. I just don't particularly like it and its been the only thing on Oppo aaaaaaaaall day and I doooon't care.

Anyways, have something that isn't a Mustang. It's still a Ford, as to avoid complete blasphemy today.

Also, it's important to note that you can't reverse track my IP address and burn down my house because I'm not at my house right now. HA!

"If a car isn't a perfectly engineered rear-mid-engined prototype I don't like it."

You, right now.

You got me.

I was originally going to post something un-American, but I figured I should at least respect today by posting something Ford.

But, hey, I don't know why I don't like most Mustangs. Maybe theres something wrong with me, but at least I don't leave food out everywhere. Barry, is that how you get ants? Yes it is, other Barry. Yes it is.

Your DP is a picture of one of the most overrated cars from one of the most overrated brands of all time...?

I'm not going to pretend I know what DP stands for... I assume thats my avatar but I could be wrong(?). And sorry I used a picture of my car as my avatar, I guess. I'm not entirely sure how that's relevant. Personally, I don't think it's overrated at all but I'm also bias since I own it. Or maybe that means that I actually know how good it is since I DD'd it last year. Either way, to each his own.

Yikes - my bad! That's like unknowingly insulting someone's wife.

The 2002 is actually my favourite Munich-mobile.

It's more that BMW's in general are fawned over far too much in my eyes, whereas Mustangs get disproportionate hate. It's irrational. Someone told me my '11 V6 was too heavy - which is funny, considering they loved my family's E92 of the same weight! Or hating on the interior of a $22K sports car.

Ahaha. Don't worry about it. No harm done.

But I actually totally agree. People have put BMW up on the impossibly high pedestal that, lets be honest, isn't exactly logical. They'r absolutely wonderful cars, but the fact that some people think of the M3 as a super car is ridiculous (and this is coming from a bonafide BMW addict). I also want to be clear that I don't hate the Mustang. I think its a great, cheap sports car for the masses, with an iconic design that can be huge amounts of fun... I just don't like it. I wouldn't own one, but I have no hostility towards it. I have a similar opinion about the Honda Civic SI Coupes. They're great cars and a total blast to drive. I drove a friend of mine's and it was a lot of fun... But I don't really like them, at least not nearly enough to every consider buying one. It's not really logical thing, or something I can explain. I probably should have made that a little clearer in the original post. I have no hate for the Stang.

Funny to hear the other side... I've been completely uninterested the regular German for years, much like your comment about Civic Sis.

I mean, I get why people like them - so precise and balanced, more powerful than Japanese competitors - but to me it makes them far to anodyne. Especially the new FI/high curb weight models.

I like cars that are *bad* or *raw* in some way - underpowered, uncouth, etc. The Mustang is a hoot because of its flaws - although I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade if offered.
