I was stopped at a red light when a guy pulls up in one of those 5.0 mustangs that were so popular in the late 80's and starts revving his engine. so just to humor him, I rev that massive 80 or so HP I4 of my escort. light turns green and he hauls ass while I make my usual 90 second 0-60 start. he gets about half a mile down the road and I see what looks like a flame shoot out one or both of his tail pipes and he comes to a complete stop. I then gave him two quick honks of the horn as I blew by him at about 45mph.
Hahaha! That's karma catching up to him! Mustang backfired really bad or something!
It's odd Ford does those 1/2 years, like with the 1964 1/2 mustangs. I never knew they did it on another car.

No problem at all dude. It's just you see the dude who did it after you. He clearly does it for a-hole reasons.

Plus, I felt pretty safe I'd never get hate from another 45th owner.

That's pretty much an accomplished persons car. You know, someone that has money. There are exceptions to this rule sure, but just like corvettes, most are owned by people over 40. Next thing to look for is the wing and the bump up in the hood for the louvers. That's a dead giveaway.

Btw, I've owned mustangs so this is usually very easy for me to distinguish.
Haha well I sure don't remember seeing a wing as he pulled out almost smashing into that poor car trying to turn. Too busy laughing my ass off!

Oh and yeah and it was the stock hood as best I could tell. I can certainly tell a GT500 from the front grille area, couldn't see that lined up of course.

Also, glad you made the switch.

Not that I dislike mustangs. As stated, I've got a couple, it'd be kinda hypocritical... haha
