Mustang Sins: Let's Hear Them

You know what I've noticed in my city at least. All the people driving v6s and ecoboosts won't wave or check each others cars out. They just straight up ignore me. Only GTs and gt350 are friendly.

And I actually do feel a bit of jealousy when I do see gt350s. I guess this confirms that jealously can come from the i4s and v6s as well, which is 99% of the mustangs here lol.

The intermodel bashing comments have been cleaned up.

I never get jealous when I see 5.0s, only when I see GT350s, '67-68 GTs and GT500s, and '71 Boss 351s. :headbonk:

Not one person I've met or discussed my car with has ever been disappointed that it's a 4-pot. They're often interested and a curious because everyone here buys the 5.0 and it's boring to see GTs lined up with the exact same exhaust and supercharger kits and mods doing the same thing.

That said, I treat all Mustang owners the same, respectfully. The only engine/model bashing I've ever seen has been the interwebs, where everyone can say and act however they want. Adults can act like egotistical kids and some kids act more mature than adults 2-3x their age.

My sin: I haven't washed my Mustang in at least two weeks.

Sin #1 - I deliberately parked the Mustang in the garage when it was dirty instead of washing it.

Sin #2 - Perhaps not really a sin -- you guys can decide. At the stop light where it merges into one lane I'll start off slow only to floor it as we get closer to the merge to pass the other guy/gal so I'm first in line.

I have a hitch for a bike rack (deal with it).
I'm planning to drive through WI winter (again, deal).

Nada wrong with this. You're in Sheboygan? Yeah winters are rough here. I did 5 SE Wisco winters with my '11 GT. It's fine.

Like many I rev the engine when next to a distracted driver (texting, makeup, etc). Did the usual this morning at the beginning of rush hour. Woman sitting in the passing lane while being passed on the right and putting on makeup. Revved the hell out of the engine and pulled in front of her, but then see there was a cop in the HOV lane once I got in front. Luckily no ticket.

I put 4 people in the back seat the other night going from a brewery to a bar. 3 guys 3 girls in total in the car, haha.

The top closed (1 girl was sitting on another's lap) but they wanted the top down so... why not. Thanks god we didn't pass any cops - door to door was only about 6 miles and no one wearing seatbelts obviously. I took side roads.

There was a crowd when we got to the bar - people were impressed, haha. I felt bad for the suspension / back seat leather - had just detailed everything earlier in the day.

Yet, nothing is ever done to stop it. No temporary bans, no nothing. You just brush it under the table. Notice how the GT guys start it every time?

First, that's not correct information. Second, different people have engaged in this over the past 3 years.

Let me be more clear. If there are further postings in this thread or other ones that are reported, individual accounts will be put on temporary ban or moderated status.

Thank you

I've driven it in the snow and ice. I've driven it in below zero weather. I have a long gravel driveway and my black car is almost perpetually dirty.

I know, I know.. :tsk:

My only sin is spending more money then i should on the car!

I'm the opposite haha. I feel like I should have spent more on mine by now. But now that I live in a house with a big garage and have the tools, and it's starting to get cooler out (I like doing my own work and don't want to subject myself to sweating if I don't have to), I'm thinking it's time I start.

I love my ecoboost but I definitely get a huge feel of regret every time I hear a gt drive by.
