I caught two yesterday:

I was getting a little gas and I feel someone close to me, I turn around and a man is checking out my car on the passenger side. He says- hows the gas mileage. I say depends on how you drive it. He says- I bet it gets better gas mileage if you stay off the pedal. I say, yes but its a mustang......why would you want to? With gas so high dollar, I am spending like $40 a week now.

I went shopping with my mother after. We are out in a parking lot leaning against my car debating where to go next(because we are in separate cars). Another man comes up- that your new mustang?(here's your sign, "no I just like the way this car looked and decided to rest my butt on the door"). Umm yea......Then he told me how beautiful she was.

I think that my favorite comment is actually the question "Is that the new 2005 Mustang?"
I always want to reply, "Uh, NO its a 2004 with a few mods, you like it?".....

The other day while I was getting gas, a man and I assume was his wife came up to me and said, and I have to spell it out in words to get the full effect...."Hey is that a twenty two hundred oh five mustang?" I almost started to laugh because these two people (and no offense to anyone here), they were from the backwoods hills from somewhere....maybe they were brother and sister...who knows. I said "Yes, its a 2005 Mustang." The man then says to me "Wow, I thought it was a kit car!" He asked me if it was fast, and I said "OH YEAH!" Then I was done filling up and fired it up and they were drooling. Then the gas station attendant yells to me, "Do a burnout!" Me being the kind hearted soul that I am, I left the gas station sideways and smacked 2nd gear the smoke was rolling!! Man I love this car.....so that is my amusing comment!

This past Saturday I was on a city street (two lanes each way) going about 40 mph, and a pickup pulled up alongside He apparently had an outside speaker on his car (maybe a volunteer fireman?), because in a deep voice I heard, "nice car!". B)

I pulled up to a gas station yesterday and while sitting in the drivers seat (alone in the car) the attendent says "Is this your car?" "Nope" I said. Just found it in a parking lot and thought I would take it for a spin"

I also had another guy say "Nice car". I said "Thanks". He said "Have you seen one of the new mustangs yet, they are pretty sweet". I said" Nope, have not seen one yet, do they look anything like my 1969 mustang?" as I pointed to my 2005. He said "Ya, but more modern".

Some people should never breed.

Driving home from work yesterday on a road I don't normally take - stop and go, stop and go with all the lights...

Stopped at a light, look in side mirror - spot a part of what looks like an early 2000 model Mustang... three cars back... nice but see 'em all the time... thought he was checking my car but couldn't be sure - alrighty...

About a mile up the road he casually passes me in traffic on the right.... and its a BLACK Bullitt SE.

Stay with him and at the next red light move all the way left and he comes up next to me in center lane. Windows go down:

Bullitt: That is beautiful....

Me: So is yours!

Bullitt: Wow, I want one of those...

Me: I want one of THOSE! (pointing at his car)



It was classic....

Followed him a little ways up the road and we got on it a bit (as much as traffic would allow - man that Bullit sounded sweet....

I love those "Here's your sign" moments this car brings.

I pull up next to a redfire 05 V6 with silver rocker stripes and a woman gets out...

Me: Nice stripes, who did those?
Her: My husband
...She looks at the GT badge on the side of my car
Her: Is that the new GT?

I've had plenty of "Is that the new Mustang?" comments

Oh and the 1st comment I heard from an 03 owner
"That doesn't look like a Mustang"

Then the guy at circuit city told me that they weren't going to make V8 models until June. And that 05 was the old bodystyle. ... Oh yea, he drives a cavalier with 200hp that can "beat any mustang"

When someone says something like "nice car" "beautiful car" etc... I usually reply with something like "Yeah, I worked with Ford engineers to get the 60's look with modern performance and effiency"

People are entertaining

My most common question/comment - "Get your car yet?"
Second most - "Get your car yet?"
Third most - "Why did you hit me?"

My best was the lady who came up and knocked on my window while I was in line at the car wash. She asked if it was a new Mustang. When I said yeah, She told me "That is one bad mother *ucker!". Never had anyone tell me that before!

How about this one...
I was talking to my ding-bat Aunt about my '05 GT. She asked how I liked it. I replied: It's absolutely amazing, I love it. It's insanely fast. She says: If you want to drive something fast you shold drive (Uncle) John's truck (F-150). She continues as I'm laughing: I'm serious, you go to pass someone and it has plenty of power!
Nothin' against the F-150, but you talk about someone without a clue...
She's got R.D.D. Reality Deficit Disorder
