I used to smile through clenched teeth at other 05 owners before I got mine... I would be all nice on the outside, but on the inside be thinking something evil... and yes, I was in a 99 GT. :P

 

Wow, I didn't get bigotry from that comment at all. You are really stretching it. When someone makes a comment, about a car, politics, science, or really, anything, it does lend credibility if it is coming from someone who is involved in some way in that field or at least knows something about it. IF Dale Earnhart Jr. made the comment, perhaps I'd be a bit upset, even though I'm not a NASCAR fan, but if some cashier at a gas station says it, no, I'm not going to be as upset. Guess I'm a bigot in your world.

 

C'mon now move along....

Follow the Rabbit

 

I have one of those little bunny tails!

 

I think it is the topic. There are topics, there are subtopics. This is an issue based on a bad comment from some gas station attendent that may or may not be dumb.

 

Never a negative comment - no negative looks either really. I get waves or head nods from other '05 owners - I sometimes initiate the wave myself. A lot of "nice car" or something along those lines.

Anyone ever flashed? That's happened a few times too... happens in my 96 as well - maybe it's me

 

I've had that same comment twice.

I did have a girl who was working at a restaurant make a bad comment about the car before she had even seen it but she was clearly a Corvette lover and I just ignored her. Why do they try to compare the Mustang to the Corvette, they're not even in the same class.

 

Once my step daughter told me that my 1966 Fastback didn't look like a Mustang. :scratch: I was like WTF? How does the original not look like a Mustang?.....I guess growing up around late models(she was born in 1991) its hard for her to imagine a Mustang from its 60's roots.
I still thought that was a :notnice: comment.

Thanks everyone for ya'lls imput..i too have recieved MANY awesome compliments from people(even had a corvette driver try to race me in my V6! I DON'T THINK SO!! i know when i am beat! It would have been a simple waste of his(and my) gas), HE still gave me .In the case of the gas lady and postoffice lady, it just striked me as strange for some people to not have the same great reaction as so many others...it didnt really bother me...just preturbed(<--spelling?) me...but i must be honest i didn't like hearing a negative comment about something i find practically perfect! But i know ya'll are right...everyone has their own different opinions!

 

This is what is great about America….free speech. No matter what our socio-economic backgrounds are, we can still freely voice our opinions without fear of retribution (with the exception of irate Mustang owners)

 

thats funny!!!!!!! i had 2 older gts next to me and neither would look at me. whats up with that?? were all in the family???

 

Why do you even care what some 40-year-old woman thinks about you car? Why would you care what anyone thinks about your car? You didn't bought 05 Mustang because other people like it, you bought it because you like it ... right?

 

 

Muscle cars and Mustangs demand a reaction from people. Just thank God your not in a mini van on the way to Wal Mart.

 

It's funny that in the local group of Mustangers, I was told by the masses not to become a snob like the rest of the 05 owners now that I've got one but in reality, it's the SN95 owners that seem to be snobs... they NEVER look over or wave back when I'm out and about in mine. I got a huge wave back from the driver of a sweet 70 Boss 302 last weekend but get no reaction from the dude in his New Edge GT... we're all family aren't we?

 

lol im still a teen soooo of course its tough for me cuz EVERYONE compares their cars to the 05 GT. people metion a civic Si and they r like yo that would rip ur mustang greg. im like HAHA YEA U WISH!! they start saying it stinks but then they beg for rides when i get it. its pure jealousy it really is. these people wanna drive these little ugly 4-bangers around soo i tell them, hey when u own a car with more than 4 cylinders come talk to me cuz otherwise ur car is JUST a car. and i laugh at them. they r like yea well ill put mods in it and beat u. i say hey make it fair and put the same mods in mine and watch who wins. theres this kid who drives the ugliest and worst sounding maxima ever. he thinks hes untouchable and vows he will beat me. ill be laughing when hes lookin at my tail lights with his jaw on the ground

 

There was a girl that used to work with me who drove a yellow 2001 V6. She said mine "doesn't look like a Mustang"... So I guess the classics are a mystery to some people. I've also had 99-04 drivers ignore/drive aggressively around me.

That's pretty funny cause my best friend is of the "rap" mentality and hates "rice"... And he drives an Alero.

 

Being a (former) late model Stang owner myself, I'd like to say it has nothing to do with jealousy. This one kid pulled up next to me and he had this whole "I'm better than you because my Stang is newer". I could tell just by the smirk on his face. I haven't had a chance to see another one stopped next to me yet. I do see them all the time. I think there are about 7 on my base!

 

I dont have a mustang yet and im waiting for graduation this june to get one this is my first reply anyways pray my parents will get me the 97 stang i want. Anyways im sick of hearing my automotive class bash the 05 stang left and right all they care about is the stupid subaru sti and mitshubishi Evo which i admit ar fast cars but cmon the mustang is much nicer, better value, sexy and while it has muscle refined. Im sick of people thinking all teenagers love imports! well i dont long live the ford mustang
