About the Mustang things and Cars and Coffee and such. This is my take on the thing:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

That’s my comment verbatim. It was on this post: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I know there are current and former Mustang owners on here and I’m curious on what your opinions are on this subject.

Have a Mustang. Couldn’t care less about the jokes; some of them.are even funny. It’s played out, though.

Have owned many Mustangs. Also DGAF about stupid people’s opinions. I find a lot of the jokes to be funny, also getting absurdly played out, though. I find I like being a car guy a lot better when I stay far away from stereotypical car guy things. I take my toys and play with them by myself.

Fella. I’ve a Skoda, and though VW have owned Skoda for more than two decades the old jokes still get told of:-

What do you call a Skoda with a sunroof? A Skip.

What’s the best option to have on your Skoda? Heated rear windows so you can at least keep your hands warm when your pushing it.

BMWs have a standing joke that they can’t park properly, don’t use their indicators, hog the road, ignorant to other road users, and so on and so on.

Pickup owners are ‘bros’ or ‘bruhs’, redneck cousin fuc**rs, etc...

Some are jokes, some are stereo types but all of them are merely words and there many for any type of car or person.

Don’t let it get to you, just don’t perpetuate the stereo type and you’ll be grand.

Dont own a mustang but have ripped a few burnouts in a 13 5.0 and i have no idea how people crash them so much. its quite easy to control.

(But i also learned to drive in a place where 4 months of the year the roads are covered in ice and snow)

My friends call my BMW “The ultimate tailgating machine” and random morons call the Twingo “gay”. The BMW joke is at least funny though calling things gay annoys me. Its just what happens.

1995 GT owner here. I’ve been fortunate to not be constantly inundated with Mustang jokes aimed directly at me or my car. Maybe just one every week or two. So I’ve been able to enjoy most of the memes so far.

But they’re getting stale. Some of them were pretty clever at first, but now a lot of them are just boring. Post a picture of a Mustang, and someone will comment “oh look, one that hasn’t crashed yet”. That’s a rather lame attempt at a punchline IMO.

Am on my 5th Mustang (two wrecked, neither my fault) and the jokes don’t bother me at all (heck, I make some of them). You can find idiots in every type of car, although the idiots in Mustangs do seem to have a talent for doing dumb things right in front of the camera.

Was funny at first but I feel your pain. Yesterday was over the top.

As the newest Mustang owner on Oppo, none of those jokes ruin the experience for me! Hell, I make more jokes out of it than any of my friends do. Someone has a 2017 Grabber Blue GT350 with a plate that basically says “crowd surfer” on it and it’s hilarious.

The jokes will never go away. Instead of fearing and resenting them, I embrace and own them.

The cars and coffee stereotype has only been around for a few years.

“Mullet headed mouth breather” or “trailer park hot rod” stereotypes have been around for decades among the Camaro crowd.

Don’t let it bother you so much, really. Don’t sell a car because of what amounts to an Internet meme.

I really don’t mind, they’re just jokes. In fact, my fellow Mustangers giving me heck about my car being a V6 is far more annoying to me than somebody saying “don’t crash it hurr hurr” at a car show.

You just can’t let it get to you, most people don’t mean anything personal by it. As for the rare few who do use it in an attempt to slander your car, haters gonna hate.

Overall, though, it’s getting old. Peeps could use some fresh material.

Tell me who made fun of the Skoda! I will fly over and kick their ass.

Lol. They are old jokes from more than 25 years ago but people still tell them.

I don’t mind them because they soon shut up when they see Piglet.

If that doesn’t work tell them to never come to Canada. We know everybody.

Lol.

I’m trying not to think of Piglet at the moment. Later today we have to take her back to the bodyshop for a quote as our next door neighbour damaged our front bumper. He’s not long been driving and it’s his first car so I’m trying to keep calm, keep any tension down as we are neighbours and do it cash rather than insurance as his would sky rocket being a fault claim in the first year of driving so I’m trying to be extra nice and help him as best I can while also getting Piglet repaired properly.

Gotta have a sense of humor about these things, mate. If I still had either of my Mustangs I’d just look them in the eye and say “ Better watch out when I leave, ‘cause I’ll be lookin’ for ya ” and leave it at that.
