There aren't as much meme's to go around for the others, i'm just an opportunistic hater.




They just be big & slow & in the right lane with the 18 wheelers when i see em on the road here.

Caymans never driven slow here. Those hairdressers are all leadfoots...

So, why hate someone who doesn't block the fast lane? That makes as much sense as a milk bucket under a bull.

when trucks have to overtake em and then block the middle lane so other slow pokes move into the left lane, that's a problem

I love being retired. I get up at 6:00 AM, then drive around slowly, making people late for work.

That Mustang table is a joke...good only for a kid's play room.

Here's a serious table



And yes, Aramith balls are made in Belgium..high quality resin.

off course it's a joke .. a funny one too

Here's another one !

As a little girl is coming out of school, a man pulls up in his car, rolls down the window and says to her, "I'll give you a sweet if you'll get in the car with me."

The little girl says, "No, I not getting in the car."

The next day the same man pulls up again, rolls down the window and says to the same little girl, "I'll give you two sweets if you'll get in the car with me."

The little girl repeats, "No, I'm not getting in the car."

The third day the man pulls up and offers her a whole bag of sweets if she will get into the car.

"No Dad," replies the girl, "There's no way I'm getting into the Mustang!"

Fixed it for you...Yep, gotta love the Mustang haters.

I've had a couple of them as rental cars over the past few years. Have to say that I think they are an entirely decent car. Don't overlook the ecoboost 4. It punches way the hell out of it's weight class.

Of course they are an entirely decent car. But they just aren't Porsche...some are just unable to accept the loss of perceived status by driving a (ugh!) Mustang.

One thing I like is that one can buy an economy Mustang that still has good grunt with the ecoboost 4...then more grunt with a 460 horsepower 5.0 GT. Want a bit more? 480 ponies in the Bullitt. Even more, and like to road race? The 350GTR works quite well. Into drag racing? Hold on, something very competitive with over 700 horsepower is coming. Still not enough? The tuner (Rouch, Shelby American, and others) offerings are many.

Me? I just drive an old, slow, and obsolete '09 Bullitt to my favorite pool hall & back home. There I can rent table time on a classic old Brunswick Centennial...the same model as the one pictured above that was restored and "tuned" by a renowned table mechanic.

I could never reach the lofty status of driving a Cayman....uh, unless I wanted to.
