Or they own an oil field. Preferably one that spouts refined 10w40 right from the ground.

If someone owns a mustang and they're not mechanically inclined, don't own any tools, and don't do their own repairs and mods, then that means they're a poser. People with mustangs are supposed to know how to do all the different kinds of car mods and all that, or else they're considered a poser. True or false?
It depends. We have 4 Mustangs in our family, and we do know about car mechanics, but I see a lot of little old ladies driving their Mustangs too, and they are not climbing under them to change the oil. It also depends on if your car is stock or modded.

What is really funny though is that , for some reason, a lot of Mustang drivers have to try you out when they see another Mustang on the road. They can see the cage in your car, but they still have to try to get you into a little red light contest. We laugh at it because when we are driving a Corvette, other Vette drivers wave at you, but Mustang guys see you as a challenge.

Or for the 50 something year old woman who wants to pretend she's a well healed 16 year old high school student.

Been that way since 1994 . The 4th gen on has been a very girl-friendly car, took the place of the YJ Jeep - the Wrangler was the car for girls in the late 80s to mid 90s, then the Mustang.

Ford doesn’t hold the monopoly on anything. People are A holes. The cars they drive have nothing to do with the person behind the wheel. But go ahead and blame a object for the stupidity of the owner. That seems to be how people think anyway.
