He was probably expecting to bounce off a pedestrian or two, to keep it going straight.

Can't find the HA HA meme so this will do:



I remember back in the day, Porsche was sued because the 930 was too powerful for the average driver.
I thought that was ridiculous and was angered that low-lifes would do such a thing and get away with it.

But watching all these D-bags in moostangs has me reconsidering that stance.

Yes , but the ratio is about 100:1 . I think lots of entry level car people gravitate towards the moostang as their first performance car .
I personally know 4 or 5 guys who fit this bill .

What are the sales figures of V8 Mustangs versus Callengers and Camaros? Honest question, I have no clue.

I’ve rented Challenger RT’s and SS Camaros and this week I have Mustang GT just by chance. In a poor drivers hands they all are capable of crashing easily.

I don't know either, but you cant swing a cat without seeing a mustang on the road here, where as there just are not that many hp camaro's running around .
Is a challenger even considered a pony car ? There are tons of them , dime a dozen

Exactly...I don't know who is worse in these videos. The idiots who line the sidewalk urging them on or the idiots in cars who oblige them.

Or..the idiots who post them on forums?

You forgot the idiots who own Mustangs and take personal offense at the schit-for-brainery being displayed.

Ok. But the videos are ubiquitous online and about as exciting as warm oatmeal, even when they crash. I don't get it.

So this makes him a discerning and sensible car owner. Far different from idiots who own Mustangs.

EDIT: disclaimer, I've crashed one car in my life, that was when I was 20 years old and I was doing something stupid. But it was a Porsche.

You are correct, but the Mustang seems to attract a certain kind of driver is the point.

Wtf are you droning about? Walker was roundly excoriated online after that crash, here and everywhere else on the www. And deservedly so. Do you want to do a count of ass-fuchery Mustang crash videos vs. 911 crash videos online?

I didn't think so. Stop taking the bait and stop trolling us w your Mustang crap, no one gives a schit. Enjoy your life.
