What the hell is it with Loving Wives stories and people driving Mustangs?

[jezzaz]

Is this a meme or something? EVERYONE drives one (I even had one in my first story before I realized it seems to be some...thing... about LW stories.

It's just weird.

LOL.

 

[jezzaz]

I'm laughing my ass off right now, since right after I posted this, I read "Cheaters in Space" and it's set in the far future, on a starship and they STILL have a VR Mustang on it.

This is just hilarious.

Don't go to Key West then. In recent years they've transitioned their convertible rental fleets from Sebrings to . . . Mustangs.

I see damned Mustangs all the time. Funny thing is I eat most of them alive with my truck. Even AFTER I made it pass emissions. Give me a Corvette any day. And you're reading Stangstar06. I challenge you to find one of his stories WITHOUT one. It kinda his thing.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Such BS. I cant recall ever seeing mention of a Mustang in a story around here.

 

[PennLady]

I would bet because it's the one "classic" car most people can name, aside from perhaps a '57 Chevy. Also, it's a car that's still in production and is still considered a sports car or muscle car, I guess.

And it's not only in LW.

Perhaps it has to do with the size of a man's toy being inversely proportional to the size of his...........oh never mind.

Since my female lead was driving one... I think the point is mute. Or at least even.

That's because you judge the stories around here without actually reading them. Mustang is one of the car types I use. Just as I use Jaguar, BMW, and Camaro a lot. It helps define a character in my mind. Each represents a different type of person to me. And those who read my stories make the same character connections over time. It's sort of a shorthand for the regular readers.

A friend of mine's daughter called them Musty Tangs when she was a kid. I can't even see one now without thinking about that.

There's a dead-tree paranormal series by CE Murphy in which the protagonist has a much-treasured, restored Mustang. She holds her boss in contempt through several books for not recognizing it as such at first glance. He's not a "car guy" and deeply offends her for this lack of character.

A friend of mine bought his daughter a Ferrari for her college graduation back in the 70's. She saw the prancing horse on the grill and told her dad it was a cute Mustang. He kept the Ferrari and bought her a Mustang.

To this day she still doesn't realize what she missed.

I'm told TEX features Metropolitans and Crosleys in all his stories.

ROFL

Every time (entirely too rare) I see a Ferrari on the road, I tell Himself "I want a pony!"

Still driving that Yugo, are you?

 

[TxRad]

Here's a piece of trivia for ya JB. Over thirty items originally patented by Crosley are still used on production and race cars throughout the world.

Give me a restored

Jaguar XKE anytime.

Come on love you have to admit it was a wee bit funny! Especially since I don't much care what size those little thingys you guys have hanging between your legs happen to be.

I do admit I love Michelangelo's David but if he had a Mustang it would be inversely proportional.

Well, it was in keeping with your obsessions and agendas.

I really think comparing anything to the size of man's penis is really, really old and lame. A tired old joke.

 

[sr71plt]

Jaguar XKE anytime.

Yep, although I gravitate to the sedans. Unfortunately, they are a tangled mess under the hoods.

 

[laptopwriter]

I sure can't argue with that

My cousin had one; he'd drive it a week, then had it in the shop a week. He kept it a little over a year and dumped it saying, never again.

Too bad; to this day I say it's the finest styled car on the road.

I had similar experiences (not quite that bad and I kept them for a long time) with a Thunderbird (which I loved, loved, loved) and a Mercedes 300. I'm sticking withToyotas and Subarus now.

LW is full of "real men"

Real men need to have cars that act as penis extensions

A Mustang fits the bill as a "tough cool guy" car.

 

[sr71plt]

I don't see Mustangs as "tough" guy cars. That's for trucks and Dodges, I think. A self-proclaimed "cool" guy, "can't afford anything better" car, maybe. Maybe a Mustang would be a tough or "in your face" broad car. Doesn't Sue Grafton's protagonist drive an old Mustang now?
