I’ll admit, the Beretta Z26 was a great looking car. 

Every kid in my high school seemed to have a Beretta. This was in the late 90's. You know why they all had them? Because they were cheap pieces of shit. I could see 4-5K for this thing to some emotionally-invested Beretta enthusiast (there’s gotta be at least a couple of them around somewhere), but other than that,…

Let us not forget the bullshit annual tradition of Lexuses with big fucking red bows on top. Like, “Honey, I know we’re fucking drowning in medical debt and I haven’t gotten a raise worth talking about in 8 years, but I bought you A FUCKING 80 THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR for Xmas”. 

Spot on. My 08 GTI was quite possibly the finest all-around vehicle I’ve ever owned, and goddamn have I owned a lot of cars. Asked me for nothing that I didn’t expect out of any car with the age and mileage it had. My current swiss-cheesed MK3 VR6 GTI can be a pain in the ass, but what 22 year old car with 225K on it…

I’m sure it will be a great car. I’m a huge VW fan. But... That front end... Jesus. It’s bad. SpongeGar cannot be unseen.

God bless you Torch. 

Are we not going to talk about the cheap plastic fuel cell contained within the passenger compartment right next to the battery and its hacked-ass install?

ok boomer

Let’s go through this line by line - This car is a:
- 1974
- Mustang II
- Coupe
- Painted orange with gaudy white stripes and a vinyl roof
- for almost $20,000 bucks

I thought NPOCP was made to stimulate the mind? To make tough decisions? It’s time for a 100% CP loss.

I like it as a sports car. I really do. But it’s only slightly more a ‘Supra’ as the Mach-E is a ‘Mustang’. 

Do not cite the old magic to me, witch. I was here when it was written.

Hello, Newman....

How about we shave 800 pounds, 12 inches, a couple hundred HP, and 15K off the sticker price of Mustang and see how it goes?

You can’t possibly go wrong with a GTI. The ST just turns down the refinement a bit in exchange for a little more fun with the go pedal, at least in the available models here. My MK5 was absolutely tremendous, if not a little lacking in the power department. Aftermarket cleared that up quick though. 

As I’ve stated in other blogs about this.... If your goal was a Model S / Taycan entry with a ‘4-door coupe’ or a liftback and you wanted to connect it to Mustang, y’know what, fine. Let’s do it. Want to make an AWD Mustang? Fine. Hell, you want to turn it into a hot hatch? We can at least discuss it.

But a tall,…

That just gave me an erection that’s going to last for more than 4 hours. Thank you.

You want it. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. 

My man! We have a Fiesta SE with the PowerShit. It’s an angry little bastard but it fights above its weight for sure, even in shitbox form. It has little-man syndrome hardcore. I would LOVE to drive a FiST. I can’t imagine how good they are with 200HP and a stick.
