Wow, it's incredible that this rag can justify its existence at all churning out crap like this. I don't know which is worse: the editorial choice to run this tepid pig slop, or the quality of the 'pictures' used to illustrate it.

Technically aren't they Clydesdales so couldn't it be the Budstang or maybe Clydestang?

So...what was the point of this exercise? I'm getting the feeling that there are two kinds of people in this world... those who have a Mustang, and those who don't. I think this is a product of jealousy and severe cynicism.

Mebbe they need to own one, or two...

I don't get it. Is this supposed to be funny? Would it be funny if I didn't own a Mustang? What is this crap? Really. I've seen these car mags lay some terds, but how did this ever make it out of editorial meeting. Mustang Malaria? I guess its funny that millions have died from malaria throughout the world. What about Mustang cancer while they're at it?

Well one thing is for certain, I'll never subscribe to C&D again. As far as I'm concerned, not only did they just insult the Mustang. But also committed sacrilege in the lowest form !

Erik Johnson is the author. May God have mercy on his soul, because my Mustang won't.

At first I felt stupid for 'not getting' the C&D joke, but I'm glad I'm in the majority: this stuff is just really lame and a waste of the pixels on my monitor!

If you want to be funny and imply overuse of the Mustang's heritage, you take OTHER everyday things and slap Pony logos on them, junk like: cologne, shirts, caps, underwear and collectible Franklin Mint Plates.

Wait a minute... Oh nevermind!

OK so I read the article and the malaria car doesn't directly make fun of malaria, instead it makes fun of the Warriors in Pink car. So they do make fun of the "cancer" Mustang that was for a charity's awareness and benefit. So it does get worse.

C&D probably just lost a ton of mustang fans...
