Good Mustang/bad Mustang... Drivers

[Brakelate]

Damn, I need to get out there and clean the brake dust off my wheels! :(

It's a full time job, being out at Willow Springs two full days a month (or more).

Good to see a cool mix of folks (and vehicles) in here. I guess turds come in all shapes and sizes.

But generally I do agree, take a look at one's car, bike, whatever and you can tell pretty quick what they are all about.

Glad I'm not being flamed just for being a Mustang guy in here. I've gone on other boards, one particularly bad Hayabusa one when I owned a ZX-12R and they went head hunting from the start, and eventually banned me for having a factual discussion with them.

These are my observations....

eh, i have brake dust build up because of excessive track days and winter.

if a person goes out of their way to catch up to me, chances are they are up to no good.

Mustangs have nothing to do with people being A**Holes behind the wheel. They're everywhere and yes, believe it or not even people that drive camaros can be A**Holes. Look at the one that just killed the little girl while speeding. It gets old seeing threads like this pop up every other day just to stir the pot.

I fall into the first category.. lol. I Always give a grin and a thumbs up, or a wave to fellow domestic performance cars, no matter the make. It is sad to not get it in return, and have the guy (or girl) act like a d-bag instead. A buddy of mine who has a challenger SRT8 is the same way, granted, he notices other challengers more than other cars, although he does give LS1 Camaros and Trans Am's a VERY healthy distance... lol. I won't say why, because some people would frown upon it, but let's just say he respects and fears them quite a bit.

Yet here you are...

The first clue that that guy was going to be a douche were the eurotails.

I'm always cool to other muscle/pony car guys unless they give me a reason not to be. Why some people choose to be rude to someone over the brand of performance car they drive is beyond me.

Friendly rivalry is one thing but some people really seem to hate people who drive other brands of cars.

I was an a$$hole before there even was a Mustang. It's not the car, it's the person.

I never did see anymore on that story of the crash. Who is to say the camaro was speeding at all? Who is to say the toyota didn't merge/pull out in front of the camaro? Jumping to conclusions is fun. But feel free to take more shots from the hip.
