I hate all Mustangs.
And their Drivers.
And yes I am basing my hatred on one event with one mustang from the early 90's.
the story:
I drive 150 miles everyday going to a camp I volunteer at full-time after my 7-4 job. the first 40 minutes consists of interstate/truck route at about 90 mph. Then I hope on US 42 a windy country road for about half an hour. in the entire run there are only two straights in which one could legally pass. After about five minutes on US 42 I come up behind a white POS mustang. Now I am not one to get mad at others for using my road (ya, it's MINE) or going slower in the corners than me, I dont expect them to be able too, thats why I bought this car. However This thing was moving at about tractor speed, I am pretty sure I could have gotten out and walked around it. I was not tailgating him and I gave him no reason to be upset with me, and I just patiently waited for one of the straight sections. We got there and I go to pass him and as I go around Him he just guns it. WTF? Yes I understand that he is faster than me in a straight line but I really dont care. So then I am behind him againfor the majority of the trip making me miss dinner and it made for just about the most infuriating trip ever, and this is supposed to be the relaxing part of my day. He was braking all the way through corners and it had so much body roll.:mad: what a dick
So in summary there is only one solution to this problem, better handling. How much would a good suspension setup set me back? I was thinking maybe H&R sports and bilstins(sp) and the associated jaunts. However I am open to sugestions, But I live in a city with pretty bad roads.
thanks

shoulda just went around the douchebag when he was driving so slow.

I would have but there is no visibility because of trees and people go really fast. I know of someone that died recently trying that. It was really tempting but the thought of dying kept coming up
-
I think he thinks like you think! Man, there is way too much going on there. Please don't drive down here to my house and kill me.

Mustangs just cant do corners.
-
Same bullshit happened to me, but it was a late 90s firebird. Stupid american muscle car owners and their retarded egos.
-
H&R Sport Shocks, Bilstein Sport or Koni Yellow shocks, Suspension Techniques Sway Bar and some sort of front strut bar. Best setup for street usage in my opinion. And for next time, buy Xenon headlights and put the highs on :P
-
they need the muscle cars to make up for the lack of other things in the southern region haha. I prefer handeling and style over some A%$ hole car that everyone and there mother has!

You want another reason to hate Mustang drivers...who here has been watching news lately?
Anyone hear about how the teenage girl, driving a Mustang & racing an Escalade on a freeway), killed the......
Prime Minister of Tonga
The P.M.'s Wife

It was all over the news by me, since it is like my back yard. Ok well, 20 miles away, but whatever.
