In reply to Harvey:
Saw a blue one (current model) on the news, also from yesterday. Must have been 2 in the same day.
That blue Mustang just made some morning show in Australia. I think they were banging on about how these dangerous sportscars are on their way to Australia or some other ridiculous hyperbole.
I don't hold the subset of adults who crowd around the exit of car events hoping to see stupid human tricks in much higher regard than I do the drivers who oblige them and put the events (and occasionally peoples lives) in jeopardy. The looky-loo's chasing down the white Mustang just to stand around being useless is almost as dumb and of questionable taste as that Mustang driver, and the reaction of the blue Mustang driver after nearly killing multiple people (including small children) is absolutely revolting. Had that been me having to pick up my kid to run out of the way, he would not likely have gotten off so easily.
Welcome to a video definition of confirmation bias. Post a video of a Mustang being dumb and others pile on with their own Mustang videos and presto, Mustangs are bad. Humans can be boneheads no matter what we drive; they're just filtering your data for you.
And yeah, to be nearly run over by someone doing that - in any car - some frontier justice might be in order.

Humans can be boneheads no matter what we drive; they're just picking and choosing what to post. Pick any brand you want and you can always find threads dedicated to how dumb the owners are.

Hey buzzkill. It's a running joke on the internet. Geez.
Honestly, the watchers of that stuff and the doo-ers of that stuff is why I havent gone to a car show in years...
Several years ago I was at a show in a small town that had a burnout contest. With the cars stationary, but in the middle of a dense crowd with people standing directly in front of them. Including small children.
A friend wondered why I was shaking my head and hoofing it to my car to (sedately) drive away from the show. It was an accident waiting to happen, someone would likely die and I wanted NO part of it.
There were even police present who were taking no action...
Yup, time to leave.
I dont think I have taken a car of mine to a show since.
