Not exactly my idea of a funny story. Sorry to hear that!
Then again, I can laugh now about the time when I bought a nice reliable Honda rather than fix the little Ford Explorer I loved. Honda died (brand new) with exactly 23 miles on the clock. Replacement Honda took weeks to get, so I had to fix the Ford tranny anyway. Ugh.
And to get back to the original question, yes, I love Mustangs. too. Really wanted one for my first car, but my dad took one look at it, shook his head and said "you'll kill yourself in that within the week." He was probably right.
