Ford Mustang commercial - cars magically change

Still better than the ghetto ads we keep getting in S Florida...

-- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

What I want to know is,has anyone noticed the amount of women actually driving these cars out on the street? 9 out of 10 I see driven by women. Therefore the new Mustang has a bit of a girlie image now.

Was wondering if any Mustang owners in Colorado have noticed an increase in their car insurance.

Just got my renewal on my 2003 GT convertible and it was "up" $250 for a 6 month period.

Insurance is going up everywhere for every vehicle. Why? Because they can, that's why. BOHICA.

Maybe that's what Ford wants. After all, in the mid-70s, Farrah Fawcett drove a Mustang II Cobra in the TV show of "Charlie's Angels".

I bet on the studio set she cringed everytime she had to crawl into that thing.

Yeah,a tarted-up Pinto.

I owned a 71 Mustang fastback. It was no Pinto. The most dangerous machine I've ever operated. If you floored it, you had every bit of the horsepower in 1 or 2 seconds. It was like driving a rocket on wheels.

The 71 Mustang Fastback was in name only related to the Pinto like Mustang II's...

The 71 Mustang was NOT a Mustang II. The Mustang II was in fact a Pinto with faked-up Mustang body styling. They managed to shoehorn a V8 into the "Cobra" model, and I honestly have no idea why Carroll Shelby didn't drive up to Detroit and choke the living s*it out of whoever came up with that mockery.

The 71 was a bit overweight and by that time they'd stopped using the really good small V8 engines, in favor of a remarkably balky and somewhat low-powered 351, but it was a true Mustang nonetheless, and about the only thing that'd beat it off the line was the 71 Nova. Hehehe.

In that case you must have had a 429 Super Cobra Jet,as nothing else produced that year could have been called a rocket. OK,where above did I say that the Pinto was anything like a 71 Mustang,or indeed any other 1st generation (64-73) Mustang,which yours is/was.? The Mustang II was the 2nd generation of Mustang,which were based on the Pinto,hence my previous comment.

The Cobra II in Charlie's Angels (which was mentioned above by Kruse) was introduced in 1976.
