Kids Rule!

I love the kids who see our cars. They just stare and point and look in awe. It great to see 5 and 6yr old kids that feel like they are looking at life size hot wheel cars. Hopefully this will stick with them and grow up to still buy American Muscle cars.

Teenager working at McDonalds flipped out about my car.

Said it looked awesome and "not lame like the ones from 2009".

Yeah that happened to me the other day when my girlfriend and I were going out to eat. I was going down the parking lot aisle and some little kid kept tucking at his mom's shirt saying "look, look" and my girlfriend heard the mom saying "Yes, I see it... I see it." It was cute.

Ouch!

But yeah, my kid notices Mustangs more now that he gets to ride in one every day.

Too funny! I was just outside putting the finishing touches on a good wash when i overheard a little girl walking by (couldn't have been more than 5) say: "Daddy, do you see that gray car over there? Thats a MUSTANG!" followed by her dad saying "Yes sweety, that IS a mustang. Good girl!"

Gotta love it!

i was on my way to work and parked my car when a family walked over, the s197 was still a rare commodity even though it was early 2006, and the mom told me her son loves mustangs and he saw me pull in and wanted to see it. i let him sit in the car and rev the engine a bit (pre-MRT aeroturbine days) while i talked to the dad about engine specs. he was about 6 years old and he had a beaming smile when he was done.

not sure what it is, but i think that regardless of generation the mustang body is pretty much iconic

When I was getting gas, a little boy probably about 6 or 7 was outside with his dad pumping gas on the other side of the pump...and he says to his dad..."dad...look at the hotrod!"...haha...his dad was like, yeah...it's definitely a nice car.

That's what got me back in 1991 at age 8! But it was with the 36 64-71 Mustangs I saw at my friend's neighbor's garage!

I love it when there's a car full of kids in front of me when I'm driving the Raptor. They all turn around and stare. Kids love big orange Raptors. And black Mustangs too.
