I see women driving twins all the time. Must think they are "cute." More in the fr-s than brz.

Median age of mustang buyers is 49.

Camaro, apparently 30.

Women make up a large amount of base model pony car sales.

Here I see my fair share of people of both genders and all ages driving these types of cars. Couple of them are douches, but I've seen twin douches on the road too.

Even people in trucks, SUVs, and minivans drive like asshats. And strangely enough, I see people in riced-out FnF Civics that drive normally.

Plenty of d-bags on all sides of the spectrum, and I doubt we can lump every 45-70 year old Mustang-driving woman into the d-bag category.

It makes sense that older people (Men and Women) are flocking back to the Mustang. It brings back memories of the car they couldn't afford (Or had) when younger.

Same reason I purchased a fr-s. I had a RX-7 in my youth.
That sucks, i see probably 2-3 daily.

I was simply reinforcing my point in response to all the shit-slinging at Mustang and Camaro owners and them being idiots. I never once thought that you thought that these female owners were all d-bags.

Though authorities didn’t find the Camaro, they did spot the two Mustangs.
At least Camaro owners aren't quite as dumb.

Passing people sideways is a traditional mark of a car with power and a driver that can handle it.

thanks for the pic because i was definitely not going to read it

although the two right most lane looks pretty open from what i can see or go on the grass like a horsey and take that side road...even better wait in line and blend in then blow through the tollbooth

Yeah, those would be the express lanes, for people with transponders in their cars.
