I’m at the stoplight in the 911, and some 20s kid pulls up next to me.
His eyes are agape and agog so I roll down my window.
“What year is that?”
“1986”
“Is it a stick?”
“Of course”
“Holy cow, jesus, that thing looks amazing....(blah blah)”
I flatly riposte, “I love your Mustang”
“Really???” <-- (This is the point of my post)
“Dude, what an insane value. Great move.”
“I know I only paid $10k. I got it b/c it’s a stick shift.”
“Well, I love it. Your car looks great, damn what a color...”
“Thanks!”
I think the kid appreciated getting a strong compliment
for his otherwise maligned car by the typical internet YouTube commenter who has never even driven a Mustang,
and instead spouts magazine racer nonsense like "Fixed rear axle" (not even a thing anymore) that has zero bearing on real life driving.
I looked it up. Kona Blue.
Beautiful.
