Letter to FORD addressing ADM?

[Rothgray]

I'm sorry, did you wander here from the Porsche forum by mistake?

No, I'm going to be adding a GT500. I started with Mustangs. Is that ok with you, or do I need to learn the secret handshake here? Are we not allowed to discuss how other cars stack up against the Mustang, or why ADM, is a perfectly acceptable practice throughout the industry?

Goodness, yes, because so many of us have access to high-end Porsches to full-out thrash--for testing purposes, you know--to compare them to our pedestrian Mustangs.

exactly my point. "its not worth it" is usually the excuse for people that cant buy them and never driven them.

did we just become best friends?

You're saying you __don't__ know the secret handshake? I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave ... and please, let's not make a scene ...

This thread isn't quite as fun as the, "Every 2018/2019 Mustang GT 5.0 is a ticking/rattling time bomb only an idiot would buy!" style threads, but it's close.

And now there's a secret handshake! A-mazing stuff happening here every day.

You forgot “Manual transmission” threads...

Let me just say it was, perhaps, the way you "discussed" it. I have no idea how much the Porsches cost you're trying to compare the Mustang to show the Mustang's complete inferiority to a car that comes with a $150k ADM. But I bet it's a lot.

Congratulations on your 500!

Yes, because most of us can't afford a top of the line Porsche as you obviously can.

Usually rubbing someone's nose in the "Ha ha! You can't afford it and I can" poop-pile is considered bad manners. That's one of the things I really like about the Mustang: it's affordable and fun for the majority who have to accept the substitute of a more available car.

no, its the go-to for those that have never driven them AND cant buy them.

how many 150k plus cars have you piloted? see? you have 0 reason to claim with certainty that prices are not justified of a highly attenuated performance vehicle, over a goddamn base mustang.

Two responses to this:

- It's no different than you saying "Those prices/ADM aren't justified" to someone who can afford it. Except you get to play the victim card. Who are you to say what someone can or can't do with their money? They can walk out in their front yard and burn it if they want.

- Toughen up snowflake, life is tough.

I think you must be new here. You definitely haven't read CAL Captain's recent posts based on what you are saying.

I've been here longer than you.

Enlighten me to what you think I missed in CAL Captain's posts?

Him saying that it's ok to pay ADM and that he paid ADM on his Bullitt. For starters. I won't go into the snowflake/political stuff here, but he's on the other side of that stuff as well.

Fair enough, I haven't read enough of his posts then. I apologize and retract this response:

In response to his comment here:

Toughen up. Life is hard, and you will hear things you don't want to constantly. The only solution is not not let it bother you/don't react to it. The rest of the world is not going to stop being "mean". In fact, it gets worse every day.

Yes, thank you for so firmly reinforcing my point.

Have a blessed day.

“Snowflake”? That’s rich. No pun intended.

I don’t know why I’m surprised; basic good manners died so long ago they’re barely remembered, let alone observed.
