Default IS IT JUST ME?

It must be just Me or are a lot of people out there MAD because I'm driving a Mustang GT and there not. Drive my sport-trac or my wife's v6 Accord. No problem. In the Mustang and every idiot wants to see how close and fast he can pull up behind me at a stop. I'm just sayin. Come on I've only had it 5 weeks. Guess I'm getting old.

lol, I always thought the same thing when I first got the car. It's the short trunk. I'm used to it now. I used to think every car behind me was going to rear-end me.

They just want to get close for a better look. ;-p

Only has one or two punks try and roll up on me since I got the GT. Most of the time people pull along side and give a thumbs up or say "nice car".

Its not just the GT. I've had quiet a few pull up behind me including a few semi's. It scary at first but yeah, the short trunk is a bit misleading. I'm in a convertible so maybe things seem a little smaller too.

Actually, I disagree. I think it has more to do with the long hood on these cars.

I have the same problem! Just seems that people see a mustang and they speed up and tail gate you trying to push you to drive like a maniac. And same thing at a stoplight when I'm stopped and here comes a car or minivan flying up like they have no breaks, really frustrating

I swing my **** at them. This usually destroys their front bumpers but I drive off before they get my plate number.
