Spring weather hit, so after work the GF and I roll the mustang convertible out of the garage, fill it with fresh gas, head out in to the countryside for dinner in a little town in the hills tonight.
The Mustang is HUGE! The seats are ENORMOUS. The hood is like a football field! The clutch feels so.. so BEEFY.. (I like the clutch.. it's heavy.) The gearshift isn't quite as surgical... but then it doesn't need to be.. not shifting every 2 seconds.
Yep.. we were grinning. "I like this car!" we both said at the same time. After dinner, I took a wrong turn and ended up having to turn around and we still have lots of sand on the roads. Of course I slid the back end around. "Shit! This thing weighs a ton!" It was like drifting a Lincoln Town Car. "You just like going sideways" she laughed. "I only like going sideways in snow." This logic makes her the "responsible one."
Which is better? I don't care! I don't have to choose. For highway trips, cruising lazily and packing groceries... vs. wanting to feel connected to the road. Both are good!
