Nothing wrong with mustangs. I'd actually wager that there are more asshole benz owners than Mustang owners.
Come to think of it, I've seen more AMG-badged non-AMGs than SVT or GT badged V6 stangs. That's pretty WT to me. And I'm a gun toting Texan that has never owned a mustang lol.

I've never understood the prejudice towards a specific auto maker. It's kinda dumb, if you ask me.
I'd love to trade up my '94 for an 03-04 Cobra.

Mustang drivers (read: most) won't ever show you any type of respect, they will either never shut up about it (very unsportsmanlike) if they win, or just make a billion excuses etc.

I could replace "Mustang" in your quote with Camaro, Civic, Supra, TransAm, Porsche, etc as long as we're throwing out unfounded stereotypes.

If you put wings on a POS it very well might fly. Doesn't make it cool.Oh, and why do you people care? Let them talk. You take it so personal, like it's a injury to your being and manhood. They're just cars. Go to the photo forums. Same thing about their cameras. mountain bikes, same thing, electronic equipment, same thing. Enjoy your **** and come to the forums looking for info and helping others, not swinging ***** over stuff that means nothing when you realize there are more important things to worry about, like family.

My E55 IS part of my 'family', so I stand up for it. If somebody called your mom/dad/brother etc. a worthless pile a steaming shi!t, you'd fight for them, right?

While we're talking about street racing, here's one with a Mercedes that happened in my town:

Having been at the scene shortly after, I can't relay the horror and displaying what the couple's car looked like, cut in half, and their lifeless bodies, while the Mercedes owner was in self-preservation mode about how much trouble he was in.

Even their high dollar lawyers couldn't get them to lie their way through the trial:
Only self-preservation, not a concern for the victims, nor their families. To the point of lying. Sounds like classy mercedes-benz drivers, eh?

Even on the Corvette forums, they took it classier than I see streetracing handled here:

2 Teenagers Face Charges In Car Crash That Killed 2
By BRUCE LAMBERT
Published: June 15, 2002
GARDEN CITY, N.Y., June 14— The two teenage drivers whose side-by-side speeding cars crashed into a third vehicle Monday night and killed a young couple were arrested today on manslaughter charges.
Nassau County Police arrested Blake Slade, 19, of 206 Brookville Road in Muttontown, and Kyle Soukup, 17, of 5 Woodedge Lane in Brookville.
Mr. Slade was arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead. Mr. Soukup's arraignment was moved to Nassau University Medical Center, where he remained hospitalized with injuries from the crash.
The two victims, Jean Desir, 31, and Sophia Bretous, 23, both of Westbury, were engaged to be married. Last Friday they had mailed the invitations to their wedding, scheduled for August, and they were on the verge of getting a home in New Jersey.
The arrests were based in part on evidence gathered from witnesses who said they saw the crash or the events before it and described the teenagers as driving fast and recklessly, said the chief of the police homicide squad, Detective Lt. Dennis W. Farrell. He declined to say how many witnesses there were.
Mr. Soukup's lawyer, Stephen P. Scaring, has denied that the teenagers were drag racing. Lieutenant Farrell refrained from using that term, with its implication of a formal starting point and signal.
But Lieutenant Farrell said: ''These two men were driving their cars at excessive rates of speed and in a reckless manner, and it was evident to onlookers that they were intent on staying abreast of each other, if not exceeding each other, in speed and in distance.''
Mr. Slade was driving a 2002 Mercedes and Mr. Soukup was driving a 2000 Corvette.
They were headed north on Route 106 in Muttontown when they struck the southbound 1993 Jeep carrying Ms. Bretous and Mr. Desir as it tried to make a left turn onto Muttontown Road, the police said. Ms. Bretous was declared dead at the scene, and Mr. Desir was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Even their high dollar lawyers couldn't get them to lie their way through the trial:
In a Nassau County, N.Y., courtroom last year, almost everyone wept when Blake Slade and Kyle Soukup were sentenced to three years in prison. The youths cried as they apologized. The families of the betrothed who died in the Muttontown crash spoke of justice and forgiveness. Even the judge dabbed his eyes and choked up.
But the prosecution and the defense remain bitterly divided over the role of the black box. Slade's father Richard calls it "a violation of civil rights," while the assistant district attorney, Michael Walsh, praises it as "the strongest piece of evidence in the case." Neither had heard of EDRs before the crash, but today both agree on one point: motorists should be aware that their cars have recorders, and it's to be hoped that the knowledge will encourage them to drive safely. "Otherwise," Slade warns, "the black box can come back to haunt you"

No, I'd ignore them. Take two people with opppsite opinions on the internet, put them in a chatroom and have them try to convince the other that their view is right/better. You will never, ever have a happy ending.

unfounded? I base that opinion on personal experience, I am a member of other forums and have personally dealt with this, and seen it happen to my friends. I admit f body owners / supra owners and GT-R owners can be pretty bad too, but mustang owners tend to be the worst. I have absolutely nothing against fords and they make a damn good car, the 5.0 is an amazing platform and they have nailed it. I honestly like fords and what they stand for, but there is a reason why most people have associated mustang owners with this behavior!

I, for one, would protect my family if it meant going to prison for something I'd had done.
