Yeah, I love Porsches. Honestly, if I could have a half a dozen of them, I would. The longer I owned my old '88 911 the more impressive I found it even at 160k miles, after almost 5 years of DAILY DRIVING and needing some TLC. Absolutely BRILLIANT cars!
Still, I'm an automotive enthusiast. Just like I find myself looking at blonds, brunettes, redheads, chicks with tats, ghost white skin tans, short hair, long hair, biggish boobs, small boobs, whatever. I also find myself looking at German cars, Italian cars, Japanese cars and American cars. I like slow cars and fast cars if they have character.
The Ford Mustang is an ICON. It's been around LONGER than our 911 (first year '64½ vs '65) (yeah, the 911 was a show car in '63, but I'm talking production). It's been a top performer in it's niche (for the most part) the entire time. It's been the dream car of lots of folks whether adolescent or not.
It does get tiring with Paul injecting his car into so many posts. I don't think it's the car itself (except for some snobs), but it's more about how he does it.
The new models are VERY impressive from the 300+hp 6cyl that gets 30+mpg, to the new V-8 models that are faster on the track than an M3.
I still prefer the classics, but even find a soft spot in my heart for some that really aren't quite yet classics.
So how about it. Rather than a bunch of hating, why can't we have a thread, just one, that sings the praises of a car that really is a peer in many ways of our beloved Porsche 911.
They've had plenty of good...
