This past weekend I got together with a few college buddies for a little one-day reunion. This reunion essentially consisted of us hopping around a few bars in our college town, pretending we were 22 again.
We chose to eat dinner at a nice little sports bar in town so we could watch Masters coverage. One of the guys is a big Mustang guy. His dad has a nice original Boss 302 and he drives an ‘05 or so. The thing is, he’s really just a Mustang name guy. He knows very little about cars. He basically drives a Mustang because it says Mustang on it.
Anyway, we’re sitting there eating dinner, watching the Masters, and a Dodge commercial featuring the Hellcat comes on.
He turns to me and says, “Did that just say 700 horsepower?”
Apparently, he’d never heard of the Hellcat.
I was flabbergasted.

At least he didn’t try to convince you that his Mustang was faster.

The Hellcat versions of both the Charger and Challenger look amazingly good. I saw 1 of each this past weekend and couldn't stop looking.

Mustang driver not knowing something?

I would never have seen or heard of it if not for Jalopnik. So I wouldn't call that odd.

I don’t know, they’ve been advertising them for quite some time and they’ve gotten a fair share of the “wow look at this!” news cycle.

Actually, I take that back a bit — I see them in the magazine ads (you know, when I’m at the dentist and want to know how the Lakers did 4 months ago). Usually right before the Weathertech 4-pager and right after the Tire Rack 2-pager. And don’t forget the Levitra ads and the one Lingerie-Every-Month club. And Mike Valentine's face. Are there any articles in those magazine anymore?

I can picture the exact expression on Valentine’s face.

That's the one. If I were female, it would be really creepy.

Especially next to the “bedroom furniture” and male enhancement ads.

Yeah seriously even if you weren't into cars you had to see that commercial with Phil Collins in it

Oh lord. I know a guy just like this. He isn’t a car guy, he is a Mustang guy. And when I say that he’s a Mustang guy, I mean that he is exactly what you mean by it. He drives an ‘06 auto convertible and thinks that it’s a GT350. He knows absolutely nothing about other cars, including ones that Ford makes (didn’t know about the Focus RS for godsakes). I hate talking cars with him because he doesn’t know anything about them but he insists to talk about Mustangs all day every day. I also drive a Mustang, sure, but the Mustang is not the beginning or end of my fascination with cars. I am interested in everything from Fiats and Fords to Lexuses and Lotuses and everything in between. Commit or GTFO!
