Anyway, cool Mustang, didn't mean to bag on it. I got my first Vette at 23 (about 11 years ago), so I guess I was ready to be an old man right out of school.Ford

What you see disintegrating is the fiberglass outer structure which has minimal relevence to the crash safety structure. It's the steel, etc. underneath that protects the occupants.

I didn't take offense to it bud. I don't think anyone buys cars like these with crash durability in mind though. Truthfully, I fell in love with a cammed c6 z06 but I try to live within my means.

No kidding bud. I may have to.
I've only had the vert since friday but I'm already kind of over convertibles during the day... At night it's pretty nice though.
People frequently come through on my street at about 45 mph and there's a pretty steep grade that you can't see over right in front of my house. As a result, I never park anything of value on the street for anything longer than a couple of minutes. Somebody has already plowed the mailbox once.
