The disappearance of the ducks from the Cadillac logo. We used to be a proper country.

1. Rebranding Mustang to basically be anything, including a blob of an EV CUV

Did people really not know that putting ferrous iron on stainless steel out in the weather would result in rust?

Even without magnets, the Cybertruck is still pretty polarizing...

I saw them when I went looking at a Countryman a couple months ago. They looked pretty nice but I wanted JCW version so I went with the horses. Bought this outgoing Countryman All4 JCW that was a dealer loaner than they pulled and put on the lot. It has been a lot of fun. I have had to replace one tire because screw

Agree’d. I have some stock model A’s because in my youth I built a v8 SBC car modern brakes and all the hubub because fast is everything. But I then took a ride in a bosses original Model A. It was the most fun you could have going that slow and I was hooked. The character of a car matters.

I think over time the definition of resto mod has morphed. I always thought a resto mod was taking an old car (Mustang) and restoring it with the idea of upgrading items that while true to the original are a good/reasonable upgrade such as brakes, suspension components, maybe go to fuel injection or just outright

I understand the comments here about combining the best of an old car (the looks) with the best of a more modern car (performance/safety). Heck, I (kind of) did it with my 1972 GTV by making it a “greatest hits” of the GTV (flying buttress seats, big brakes, modern coilovers, 1750 dash, heart grille, etc.) but I think

Other than the rims, I just don’t hate it. Do I think a regular GT500 looks better? Sure. But, I can’t hate this thing. 

That’s the best looking Mustang II I’ve ever seen.

To the OP: This is INSANE but check this out, I ALSO live in NJ, and ALSO bought a 2020 M5, and they ALSO broke into my house to steal the keys last week, except my dog and myself chased them out. As if that was not coincidental enough, the car on the post is my EXACT spec, and my wife is also against the car now in

I think I’m going to make a product that sticks a fake one of these on the center console as a theft deterrent. But you don’t have to wait, I think most of the recommendations above are available with it as a factory option.

Admit it, we’ve all wanted to do something like this.

I love that retro interior — especially the ’70s throwback two-knob radio slung under the dash like a ’76 Civic.

I missed the original polling, but I offer you up a threesome owned by the same deranged person. Sorta hits a couple of the demographics but who’d a thought a Porsche owner?

This looks better than 99% of everything on the road in the U.S. right now

why is this a post

It’s amazing how stupid people can be. When I was around 12 or so, my dad was driving our short bed truck with an 8 foot ladder in the back. We stopped at an intersection and we got rear ended by a guy in a restored 1st gen Mustang that had just come from the paint booth.

Convertibles are rarely lighter than coupes in the modern era. The added structure to make up for the lack of a roof more than adds what the fabric top saves.
