Default To Each Their Own . . . .

I was in Atlanta this weekend. At a convenience store the people I was with started shouting and pointing at a Mustang in the parking lot. It was a Shelby GT coupe--black/silver which I think is a very sharp car. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not beyond adding a little "flash" to my ride, but this thing had 22" flat, almost solid chrome rims, some really, really, really cheap fog lights hung under the front bumper, just above the "Powered by Ford" badge on the fender he had installed some very cheesy chrome vents--sort of like those on the new F-250's and to cap it off, he had added to the "Shelby GT" stripe--in a totally different font, "500". I'm thinking geez, you just ruined a very nice car. Why didn't you do that to a regular GT or even a chevy...... I love these cars and the way they look. I even like some of them modified, but the vents and the "500" really did me in.....

I'll get off my soap box now.....
