I felt so bad for this Mach 1...

[Mustanger2]

Saw a relative for the first time in years this week. He had a new 04 black Mach 1 back in 04 that was absolutely beautiful! Today the car has only 44,000 miles on it but the poor thing is nearly trashed! Water spots all over it, door dings, chipped paint, a damaged front bumper held together with duct tape, the interior is filthy and I don't believe the leather seats have ever been treated with anything to preserve them. Never been waxed, engine is very grimy...nothing is as it should be anywhere. But it still runs like a scalded ape!

I was really in the dumps thinking how some people don't deserve such a fine car! I do NOT understand this kind of abuse! I mean if I had such a car all to my own it would look better than showroom! I take great pleasure in keeping my cars up & actually enjoy the hours spent washing & waxing & detailing them. Why the 150k mile 94GT keeps getting mistaken for a new car! It makes me feel good to receive compliments like that...how can some people be so abusive to such a treasure? just sad...
