You are so right!1 I can't count how many times I've been asked that. Also, my license plate is: 1 0f 844. I've been asked about a thousand times: "Is that really 1 of 844?? I'm like...really?? Would I put it on a license plate if it wasn't??

You park even farther away from the store than necessary, so you can get a better, longer look at your Mach 1 on your way back.

Only exception being a prime parking space right up front, so everybody going in and out of the store can get a great look at your prize.

guilty

...you catch a guy in the car beside you staring at the shaker so you give the throttle a stab to show him it's real.

extremely guilty!

if you get pulled over you end up spending more time talking with the cop about the car than the dozens of traffic laws you just broke with it

.....The picture on your desktop is your car

......anytime you are anywhere for any reason with a camera, the car get's its picture taken.

You know you own a Mach 1 because ........ the shaker shakes.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh.

Pass another mustang with a hood scoop and think "how cute".



I had someone ask me where I got my scoop since it looks so good and I was like "there's a hole in my hood and that thing is sitting right in top of the engine".




And I freak the hell out when I see another one! GUiLTY!



You also know you own one when you go out in your daily driver and see another one you wish you brought your Mach instead.

Haha... my wife used to complain I loved my car more than I loved her (which might be true, but...)

Anyway... Mach got hit and totalled out so bought a 2011 GT. Love the 2011, but will always have an empty spot in my heart for the Mach

[ryanscobra]

Idk about any of you, but I always get asked if it's a V6. It's annoying but I always say yes and then hit the throttle.

Guilty

[mach1joey]

I'm guilty of all of these. Lol

[openb]

I drive by it at work 3-4 times a shift to see how cool it looks.

[iudelt89]

girlfriend complains that the car gets more attention than her

[billc]

........You drive down streets in town that have stores with big windows so you can see yourself.


Man this thread is like therapy....you mean I'm not the only one

[jasionox666x]

Ok guys, MA meeting is in effect.


I look at my car the way I did the first day I bought it.


They are rare as heck over here, in terms of being sold. I didn't know how to drive stick and I bought it.

I learned on it. I stalled only twice.

[doubleg]

........You drive down streets in town that have stores with big windows so you can see yourself.

I am so guilty of that. LOL

[matthayn]

..... You pick your parking spots so so carefully (surrounded by least amount of cars, if somebody's parked on the line you don't even consider that one)

[Fauxnali]

...the ricer who has just enough Oates to beat a GT just got his *** handed to himself, and now he's at the next light beside you staring at the shaker with a slightly befuddled look on his face.

I like that though, I love when people think its a V6. It's a cool sleeper car, although mine is loud as hell. The mach 1 stripes are hard to see on DSG and since mine is an 03 it just has the running horse on the sides .

[NTMAREMACH]

I may consider some large mirrors for the garage as my next mod.

[Fauxnali]

No one who has ever heard my car running has ever mistaken it for a V6.

[4vlover]

You think about all the LS1 turds you put in your rearview mirror.

Then when you see some kid ricing his f body or GT with exhaust and a cold air, you think to yourself...if only he knew.

[oxfordwhite04]

...all of this is true!
