There's an old saying that one idiot attracts another. Part of the reason WHY some kids try and show off is that they get an audience for it. Even at that age, the last thing in the world I wanted to look at was some moron (and my high school had its share of them) abusing or tearing up his car (I say his because, while females were not totally exempt from dumb things behind the wheel, it was usually males).

Wish we had a video of the Mustang pileup as it happened, that's pretty damn epic lol.
Now to get more philosophical, a chicken or the egg type of thing. Does driving a Mustang make you retarded and reckless? Or is just people who drive a Mustang are retarded and reckless to start with? IMO I think its the latter, idiots gravitate towards that car, just as all the idiots gravitated towards compact Hondas back in the 2000's. Thing is a Mustang will bite you in the *** if you don't know how to drive, a 120hp FWD Civic, well that's takes a lot more "talent" to majorly **** up in one of those lol.
Still pisses me off though, all the retards wrecked or ragged out all the cool Hondas of my youth, you can still find nice 90's Camaros/Mustangs if you look hard.

i'm glad someone revived my old thread haha
to answer both of you, why else would someone get a V8 solid rear axle mustang unless they are immature and plan to do immature things with it? it's not like it's a good car... you pretty much buy it for one reason
i'm equally immature but chose to keep it concealed until the last moment, that's why i got an E55
you'd have no idea what that car is capable of unless you know what it is, yet it's still classy and subdued enough to be appropriate for just about any occasion. the same can't be said for a mustang

i absolutely don't need the car lol but it's SO awesome I just couldn't pass up the opportunity, knowing that I won't really lose much in depreciation. I think this will be a future classic the supercharged E55, it just has a craziness not found too much anymore with mpg restrictions and all, and I just love the styling from that era of Mercedes. cars now all just seem too bloated, but I think they got it just right back then.

Plus unless you really squint hard, it just looks like some old retired fuddy-duddy in the last new Mercedes he will ever buy.

Dude the E55 AMG is a classic. Its still brutally fast today. I remember reading reviews about that car back in 2004 or so, saying that it was just as fast as a 405hp C5 Corvette Z06 lol.

on the highway i like putting the transmission into manual mode and just keeping it in 5th gear, you never need to downshift! it accelerates harder at 2000 rpm in 5th gear than many cars will accelerate PERIOD! very cool piece of hardware this machine. life is just too short to be without adrenaline, and the V8 Kompressor is a giant syringe...

oh it's really something else, and don't forget by just changing the supercharger pulley and updating the software you can basically add an entire yaris worth of additional power for only like a little over a grand. and unlike the high revving high strung M5 of the day (gotta love the V10 though) which basically explodes once you pass 100,000 miles and has no power until like 5000 rpm, the E55 ALWAYS makes A LOT of power and has proven itself to last over 400,000 miles and still be very fast and refined.

5th is the highest gear, only a 5 speed auto back in the day. you can go from 25 to 135 in 3rd gear alone!

I am not surprised to see another Mustang owner crashing his car. Seems like every week a new video is being posted of a Mustang crashing into crowds, trees, homes, and walls. They have made themselves the biggest joke in the car culture.
