My car is just plain fun to drive. Mentioned to a fellow camper one year while
driving the mountain roads in Yosemite that the car felt and handled like it was
on a track. He mentioned that is because it was designed to be on a track.
It is the most easily recognizable car that no one has ever seen before, and fast.
I am frequently approached by people wondering about the car and when I open the
hood they act like a deer caught in the headlights. Driving the car is a full time job
needing both eyes, ears, hands and feet. The car has a decent stereo system which
I never use, too distracting. The car is also easy to work on which is a good thing since
it is next to impossible to find a mechanic that knows anything about these cars. I have
spent more time and money restoring the Mustang than any other car I have owned
which speaks for itself.
