Ok,

There are a lot of Mustangs out there. We here seem to be a sort of brotherhood. Unfortunatley, most of the "stangers I meet on the street don't seem to "feel the love" and usually want to race.

Anyone out there have any stories good or bad?

 

I don't think I've ever had anyone try to race me, but then again my stang is SLOW! Most of the people I see driving mustangs don't even acknowledge me. The only person who's ever said anything to me at a stoplight was a guy in a older corvette convertible.

 

I usually don't even pay attention if it's stock. When I see it's modified I make an effort to give a thumbs up or try and pull up along side it at a light. I actually get more non-stang drivers talking to me at lights or when walking to or away from the car.

 

Last night a guy in an SN95 rolled next to me and revved it a couple of times. After the third rev, I heard a loud "pop". At that point, he coasted to a crawl and I just drove by (kind of sad actually).

Personally, I can't go a week without someone wanting to race. Half the time it's either rice or a Camaro. The rest of the time, it's another Mustang.

I'm just trying to find the love...

 

Regardless of what year or model I usually try to acknowledge any Mustang owner.

Unfortunately most people don't give any eye contact, intentionally or not.

 

I think it depends on age of the car...if drive around in the '88 GT

(ignored)

but if i drive arround in the '67 fastback (many thumbs)

 

I notice Mustang owners may also be 'cliqu-ish'. You'll see the classics guys all notice other classic stangs, foxes notices other foxbodies, then the sn-95 and current generation owners are harder to distinguish as ones that truly feel part of the 'brotherhood' because there are so many out there right now.

 

I agree x21,most all the compliments I've ever had on my car were from people that do or have owned a fox body. I however try to acknowledge or compliment no matter what. Or I get kids that will say "Kool car Dude"!

 

snubbed by most stang owners, no love

 

Thats funny, most of the time its meh, followed by "lets race", occasionally "a thumbs up"

 

It depends. Sometimes i get the thumbs up other times i get ignored. then ive gotten another mustang person to go by me reving his engine.

 

Thumbs up... Sofar I haven't met any Mustangs actually wanting to race. Then again, Mustangs are a lot rarer here, and thus more 'thumb up' material

 

I work at a local auto parts store and a lot of Muatangs owners come in. we always talk and compare note. Have made a lot of friends because of the car that we have in common. We share information and have nothing but genuinely good things to say about each others cars. Although, I do run into a few that are genuine ***holes and think that none is better then theirs or that they know more then anyone else. I usually blow them off and move on. When I see any Mustang on the road I acknowledge them with a thumbs up and usually get one in return.

 

what few mustang owners there are around here, think their the **** so i have to put em in their place
