Christine, she's back! Only less powerful because she has so much plastic in the makeup now.

Next on the list now will be Ford Mustangs, and Prius owners shall rejoice.
I agree, but the prius crowd needs the mustang and truck crowd so they can tell them how great the prius is compared to the gas guzzlers.

Actually, the Prius crowd only exists to act as official Clueless-Bay-Area-Mustang-blocking-road-boulders in the fast lane while they earn their 50 mpg. They really **** me off sometimes. That is til I blow by them.

Guilty pleasure: the odd times I've driven my F-150 into San Francisco (don't call it Frisco). Pull up behind the odd Prius, or Leaf, or SmartCar at a stop light. Then turn on the headlamps: right-at-mirror-level. Their grip on steering wheel goes from 0 to white knuckle instantly or they turn to the right. Also just cruising down the streets-the locals don't know how to react to a country pickup in the city. The only times I've not been cut off by lane changers, they just seem to give me a safety cushion. OTOH, trying to find parking for a full size pickup can be....challenging.

Can't a man enjoy a leisurely roll along scenic Golden Gate without being harassed by laws, polls and physics?

Maybe he heard that the faster you go, the skinnier your car gets.

Haha, I found parking in San Francisco, said no Ford F-350 Crew Cab Dually owner EVER!

Yep - our truck can only go to the back 40 of most any parking lot. Since there is no back 40 in the city....it is only a drive through vehicle!

No, you actually get shorter as the relativistic effects become more prevalent...but you'd need a Shelby to get fast enough to notice them.

About the 20 second mark.

If I had a Shelby, I'd be too busy conducting my own experiments!

I think the whole thing is fake, I think the ecoterrorists planted it all to make American cars look bad. I'm serious, I think they are behind all of that crap. Fark them.

I know damned good and well that nobody can get drunk enough to do that crap. I can drink a gallon of moonshine and hoon a GT500 and not do something that stupid. That is obviously done on purpose and they made sure it was done in an American "muscle car" (if you can call a v6 mustang that) they don't care, their target audience doesn't know the differences between a v-6 and a GT500, all they know is that its American and its not a Prius. Take all of their crap with a grain of salt. No, not a grain, a whole shaker of salt. The whole thing is bull**** and a marketing ploy for the enviro-**** groups. Mark my word.


Hey, I'm just Rambling, I have no idea what happened here. It just sounded good, lol.

Yeah, not a well thought out plan.
Keep adding costs...the recovery via crane meant that they had to close the entire bridge during the operation. The Bridge District WILL be billing the driver/insurance company for that too!

Not to mention the lifetime of embarassment and shunning experienced. The experience itself to me is worse than the money

So, he drives it in but a tow truck with a winch can't pull it out? A crane? Really? Kommifornia is all about the drama and excess, aren't they?
