Mustang Philosophy
There are two kinds of people who drive
Mustangs: everyday people (ho-hum), and enthusiasts. I consider everyday people posers. These include men and women who've reached mid-life crisis and want to get their youth back by owning a sports car, those with money who want to flaunt their wealth (these people sometimes go hand in hand with the mid-life crisis people) and those who buy a Mustang because they think it will improve their image. Enthusiasts are like you and I, people who are passionate about Mustangs. And, dare I say it, actually love these machines as if they were flesh and blood. Mustang's are parts of our families. This aspect of our lives is what sets us apart from all the rest. We eat, sleep and live Mustangs. But owning a Mustang isn't a right, it's a privilege.
