    You can't trick me into clicking on something that might once have been close to a Fairmont. Took years to shake that off, and I'm still not right.

    Love the saccharin-sweetened-Tab commercial right before the '81 Mustang's anorexic model appears.

    "What are you waiting for" with the '78? Next year's model.

    The first part of that MachI add was horrifying. There was so much camera time on the singers, who were actually obscuring the product! Sure, they switched to the deep voice over, bongo hip footage of the car--but who could last through the Up-With-People sugary whitebread bits without lapsing into a diabetic coma?

    The '85 commercial succeeded in convincing me never to mess with cocaine (hell of a drug), and that's the creepiest "Have you driven a Ford... lately?" I've ever heard. The '68 Mustang, on the other hand... it'll automagically make any girl I'm with bomb-ass hot? Damn. I gotta get me one of those.


    I had to turn off the '69 Mach 1 commercial after 30 seconds, though. Ever since the Kia debacle of last year, car commercials with choruses of people singing in a showroom rub me a terrible way.

    I love in the '80 Capri commercial, instead of saying "mileage may vary" it actually says "your mileage will probably be less".


    Why not just go all the way and say "Note, EPA mileage may have fallen out of the south end of a northbound bull"

    I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there: '80s Fox Mustangs > current Mustang.


    Why? Because it was smaller and cheaper...it was a good low-priced ride for a young hoon, as opposed to the "MOAR POWER!" overpriced, gas-sucking poser it's become today.


    I wish the current Mustang had smaller dimensions, a standard 4-banger and a base price that's about 8k lower. Of course, the fact that everything is FWD now complicates the continued existance of any size Mustang. I'm still hoping that the carpocalypse will result in a return to small sport coupes. Maybe I just really want an '86 LX 5.0 hatch.


    Anyway, '79 "Swingtown" ad FTW.

    @FromaBuick6: The Mustang LX 5.0 is one of the most underrated cars out there. I remember test driving it and the saleswoman who sat shotgun timed acceleration times for me with her Mickey Mouse watch.

    @FromaBuick6: The Fox was silly cheap and had silly engines (V8 in something smaller and lighter than a Focus)


    Now all there is, is the Challenger/Camaro/Mustang and they are big and $$$$ except wimpy models.

    @SmaartAasSaabr: Plus the Fox platform was used for everything from the Zephyr to the Mark VII, so the junkyard is a Fox-stravaganza for budget-minded Mustang owners.

    @Murilee Martin: Indeed. About this time every year, I start thinking about picking up a Fox body. Probably a 5.0 hatchback, but maybe a 5.0 convertible, but defintely a 5-speed. Parts are plentiful, new or used, and the hoonage potential is endless. Gotta love that exhaust note, too.


    But, alas, I always do something stupid that changes my plans. Like buy a practical "pre-owned" car instead, or try to graduate and find a job in the middle of the Carpocalypse.
