Makes ya think....

Not much to realy make fun of in this picture. Although the word "Mustang" shows up twice on the front of the car. That's a little redundant, and it's not like nobody knows what it is, anyway.

And the wheels stick out far enough to make me wonder how the wheel wells react to hard cornering or bumps. Probably not too well. The hood sits too low to be a 5.0 (V-8). I don't know how easy that is to tell from this picture, but remember: this is not a 5.0.


Okay. This is the picture that allows me to make fun of this car. The 3-spoke deep-dish (sorta) wheels (going for the white trash Batman look) stick out in an attempt to make them look wider than they really are, which aren't much wider than stock V8 Mustang wheels, if at all. Notice the space between the wheel lip and the tire itself. Reason number 2 (#1 being how far they stick out) not to take corners too hard.

The chrome tape covering the fuel filler door does what, exactly, for the "performance" look? But the stripes, spoiler, jacked-up rear suspension, and vanity plate (which reads 8MSTNG8) are what land this puppy in the "rice" section.

Okay, okay, so maybe the owner just wants you to know he has an '88 Mustang. But combined with all the other stuff, I get the feeling he wants you to think it's a V-8. Nevermind the single exhaust pipe.

Do you think this is an attempt to look like a 5.0? Or just someone with poor taste in accessories?
