I must confess, I am, well......sometimes for sure.
Now, "bully" may be a strong word, but I do feel emboldened when driving my black GT. Now, do I cut people off, or drive like a moron? No! (well, almost never)
However, I do find myself formulating a "pecking order", if you will to everyone around me. For instance: if a Mom in a minivan swerves around me in traffic, it is likely that if given the chance, I will purposely blow by her, trumpeting the roar of the GT, and in my mind setting the pecking order straight again. In other words, I spank her *** back into the reality that she is driving a bread box on wheels, not a Ferrari. The same holds for any/all cars trucks that I feel step out of line. Chevy p/u's being the most common offenders. (well, offenders in my obviously twisted world...lol) I have lost count of how many of those guys I have trounced just to humble them back into the reality that despite the Nascar stickers, and big #8 on the back window, it's a Chevy Silverado w/ a toolbox, not a GT-500!!
I was just wondering if anyone else feels, hell....enjoys this rather twisted aspect of owning a Mustang? I must add, I afford the same level of respect to cars I feel are equal to the Stang in stature, or just bad-assedness. It's a very short list I assure you. (BMW 3-series need not apply!) Yesterday, had a guy in a V6 Accord working real hard to bully me. Needless to say....he was humbled. Now, this does not happen every day on my 25mi (one way) commute in and out of DC (land of the worst drivers in America, I must add), but it does happen fairly often, and dare I say....for me, it's part of the overall experience. Hell, it is one of the reasons I bought the car, and have owned 5 Mustangs. I am a nice guy, and NOT a bully, but on the road, I like to be top of the food chain. :happydancer: (I always thought the Mustang sounds alot like a Lion's roar too.....King of the Jungle)
Agree? Am I in need of therapy? Are we all? ...lol
