It can save your life.
Much like the King snake and Banded Coral snake, Mimicry is often used in the automotive kingdom.
The docile Honda Accord Coupe has a strong resemblance to the aggressive Ford Mustang. However, if you recognize some differences, you can stay safe at Cars & Coffee.
On the left is a dormant Ford Mustang. This is the 5.0 GT subspecies of Mustang, often the most aggressive at C&C events. Note the narrow slit-eyed headlamps, blacked-out grille, and “power bulge” in the center of the hood. The vents, or “pits,” on the hood indicate that it produces a lot of heat. Note also the shape of its headlamps in relation to the grille - coming to a point at the top. LED marker lights are also present in three vertical “gills” where the headlamps meet the grille.
On the right is the relatively harmless Honda Accord Coupe. While it shares a similar appearance to the often dangerous Mustang, there are some important differences to note.
First, there are no vents on the hood. Because the Honda is a “sensible” vehicle, it handles all of its cooling through the grille. Also, the grille is slightly smaller, with a chrome H and bar. Its shape is nearly identical to the Mustang, but inverted. Also, the marker lights in the headlamps are horizontal, along the bottom of the lamp.
Remember these things and have a safe Car Show Season!

I heard once that a mustangs in a wild lunge at innocent pedestrians and onlookers.

I actually got sideways through an intersection on the way to lunch in mine today. Probably scared the bejeezus out of some people.

I’m going to a car show tonight, I’ll keep this in mind. However a PT cruiser in its autozone best may blind me and I’ll be killed anyways. Wish me luck.
