Is that a Ford Mustang?
I bought my SS out of state almost two months ago and am still trying to get the title in place. As part of the process, last week I needed to take the car to the license bureau for them to do a VIN verification. The guy walks outside with me to the car and says "Is that a Ford Mustang? It's a nice looking car."
I laughed, said no and cleared up his confusion. |

Just like face tissues are “Kleenex” regardless of brand, pony cars are mustangs to most of the world.

That’s a lot of hassle just to title a car & to deal with a DMV employee, ya know the people who deal with stuff about CARS, doesn’t even know the difference between those cars should be stuffing fry bags at a fast food joint & no where near important documentation paperwork.

Funny, for some reason my car gets called a Corvette, which I correct every time. Just a matter of time until I get the Mustang comment I suppose.

People at work call my ZL1 a Mustang sometimes. I give them a hard look and say hell no it’s not a Mustang but a Camaro and also a ZL1 which most of them don’t have a clue.

It's not just the Camaro, lots of other cars get confused like that. Most people can't tell Honda and Toyota apart, so...
When I had my RX-8, I once got a parking ticket that called it a Miata. Funny, because RX-8 is just a stretched NC Miata chassis-wise, but it sure is special to have a hard-top, 4-door, rotary-powered Miata, LOL.

Calling an SS a Mustang is an insult I think! Don't get me wrong the Mustang GT is a quick car and affordable and I owned 3 before my SS BUT the current Mustangs don't compared other than almost the same performance.

I don't have this issue with the Camaro people seem to know what it is when I show up with mine. People I know who are not into cars like friends relatives etc seem to confuse hondas and Toyotas for the most part or they think a Tesla Sedan is a Toyota mostly because in my area they are very rare I guess.

Still amazes me the number of people that are offended by people calling their Camaro a Mustang. MOST people don’t know better but they’ve at least acknowledged your car. It’s still a compliment.
LOL no one even mentions my LaCrosse. And when I had my SS sedan? Is that a Malibu? An SS what?
