aw man, this might be the thread of the year. Nice "Mustang" sticker on the side... oh I really like the door bumper guards too... hahahahaha
BTW, I love pulling up next to V-6 mustang convert owners. The top is always down so they get the priviledge of hearing the sweet sweet sound of my V-8. Every one of them turns green with envy and they usually end up drooling in their lap.
You may be convinced that everyone who owns a Mustang does it for a status boost, but you're mistaken. Most of us guys who own the 10+ year old Mustangs (especailly the fox body guys) own these cars because we have a passion and an enthusiasm for automobiles. I could care less what others around me drive, because I drive my car for me not for anyone else. I love the way it sounds, I enjoy rowing throught he gears, and above all else I like the process of deciding on the next mod, saving for said mod, installing, and enjoying it.
Your assumption that we enthusiasts spend our time racing through school zones is also flawed. It's quite pathetic that you are such an ego maniac and truly believe the minivan crowd are drooling in envy. FWIW, the dads in the minivans are probably looking at you with disgust thinking "if I had the money for a Mustang, you can be damn sure I'd at least spring for a V-8." On the other hand, if I pull up to a minivan in my SN-95 I often times get a thumbs up from the dad and kids, a "sounds nice" comment, or a "sweet car man" comment. Convertable V-6 Mustangs are everywhere, it's not very often you'll see a clean tastefully modded SN-95 GT, Cobra, or Fox.
Oh, I almost forgot:
