I would like to add one too!

"You display 'Mustang Courtesy' by yeilding to all Mustangs that pass you or cut you off on the interstate while driving your crappy 4 banger daily driver to work."

I do that everyday!

...oh and "You'd rather be detailing your Mustang than making out with your wife!"

It happens after 15 years!

I thought it was good as well.
you know that you have a hot ride when you see a friend that you haven't seen in a couple of years, and the first thing out of their mouth is "do you still have the stang?".
