Why not?  Random act of kindness and the car wanted and needed much attention.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Ah yessssss you got a Fudgy the Whale edition with the "special yellow pool floaties" bumper protectors. Pretty kool

Two reasons we would not wax that vehicle

1 it's a rental

2 it's a Fudgy the Whale type of car, not worthy

Hard pass

Nice looking car.  Was begging for attention.  I felt sorry for it.  Random act of kindness that benefitted me in the form of burning calories although said random act of kindness alone is probably not enough to gain access to the divine kingdom if there is one.  I would have a persuasive argument if called upon when such moment arrives.  I told the rental agent about the spoiler guards (aka pool noodles), that they should be removed (I would if it were mine) and I was met with a blank stare as if to say: "What do you mean?  They're part of the car."

Yep I know the kind,  we call them "WANABEEs" they think they know something but truly know nothing.

What would you expect from third tier car owners ?

They don't even know that the last year for the V6 in a mustang was 2018

That's SIX years ago...SIX years

The new 2024 Ford Mustang has three engine options:

None are V6s

Turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost

The base engine 4 cylinder, with 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, and a 10-speed automatic transmission

5.0-liter V8 GT

With 480 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, and available with a six-speed manual

5.0-liter V8 Dark Horse

With 500 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, and exclusive to the Dark Horse mode

No V6 in the last SIX years

Capiche !

LMAOOOOO V6...

we have all seen a known fast vehicle loose to another that was not as fast


it all comes down to the driver and his insanity factor

Yes, you are absolutely correct. A car and a man are a totally symbiotic relationship each complimenting the other.
