correct the current mustang has a v6 option, in fact most mustangs have had an optional 6 cylinder of some type........but having said that- no mustang should ever have to suffer with a v6- ever!
some cars just need a v8 in them- falcon gt's are another one!

Two Sundays Ago
The sun was pleasant upon my back, The day was going well, The trail stretched out before us, Drenched in the forest’s smell. On a new trail foreign to us, We enjoyed the spirit of discovery, Reveling in the new conditions, And the sights to see. Half way upon our journey, Fate cunningly intervened, A major kind of breakdown, The kind of which I’ve never dreamed. The worst kind of broken, Uttering words I can’t repeat, I at least got kind of mobile, But I’d need to use my feet. Miles from home or anywhere, We walked through bramble and burr, Until the landscape became familiar, And we kind of knew where we were. My partner went off then, Back to get his car, I would continue to walk, though, Destined to not get far, For I was wearing new shoes, Not properly conditioned yet, And judging by the pain I felt, Blisters were a safe bet. For another hour I trudged forward, Hoping for some reprieve, Just wanting for this time to end, Just wanting to simply leave. My friend arrived with a sour expression, His car was not running well, The clutch was not engaging properly, This day had gone to Hell. He nursed it with much finesse, Cajoling it with great skill, Massaging when were going up, Then coasting down each hill. We parted ways with some relief, We had faced challenges and won, At least there was some daylight left, Some chance at having fun. My daughter was quite excited, A birthday party in her plans, So we made a card and got dressed, A present in our hands. A good time was being had by all, Bowling was the day’s theme, Sugar and saturated fat on the table, It was a child’s every dream. When over the loudspeaker, Came a message about my car, And to report outside immediately, It was just bizarre. Outside a crowd had gathered, One of them in tears, A quick inspection followed, To confirm my darkest fears. A person had not been looking, And from them I wish not to detract, But my car was far away from theirs, But into it they still backed. The damage to my car was minor, Much more significant to theirs, I know accidents can surely happen, But that did not help my despair. My car has recently been painted, To have it marked in such a way, I just thought it was typical, And that’s all I have to say. So at this point I was ruminating, A thought swirling in my head, I wish that I had paranormal powers, So I would have stayed in bed. Cheers

It was a mate's car in the forest - piece of excrement Nissan. It was the XW that was hit.
But that was a few years ago (poem's an old one). $100 damage to the old girl, $2 500 to the Hyundai. Cheers

Testimony to indifferent maintenance, I'm afraid.
One other time we were at a bike race at Mount Perry and we were driving home in the dark. The lights got dimmer and dimmer ... oh dear... We made it home - he didn't stop the engine - it stopped outside his house - altenator and fan belt both knackered. I was just pleased to get home - I could see what was happening! Cheers

Just for that, have another! Following the Doctor The doctor said I should contain My recent drinking woes For soon I would have alcohol Coming from my nose. He suggested I only have Two drinks every day I agreed whole-heartedly But this I have to say: I bank them up for Saturday night Enough to get me to scream I ensure I get my quota And so I drink fourteen. And each drink is now measured With great and deliberate care So that it’s now exactly a litre On the floor – find me there. Cheers

Anti-climaxes
I’ve heard about anti-climaxes And how they leave your nerves grating I’ve been working on an anti-climax But I’m disappointed to still be waiting. Cheers

Sensuous Meandering
I see you waiting across the room, And remember our last embrace, Your lusciously rounded body accentuates, Your radiant, glowing face. The last time you were in my arms, We rocked each other's worlds, I was left sore and exhausted, You cried tears of pearls. I move towards you hesitantly, And wonder if you've thought of me, You show no recognition, Well, none that I can see. I hold out one trembling hand, And run it down your neck, I'm greeted with no movement, It's not what I expect. You're body's cold and unyielding, And brusque to the touch, You haven't bothered to call me, Although I did expect as much. But, I still sweep you up, Whenever I get the chance, And throw you upon my body, And we'll do that special dance. The music that we make together, Takes my spirit far, For, you're all that I expect of you, Seeing you're simply my guitar. Cheers

I Don't Care
I don't care that the house is messy, I don't care that the washing's not done, I don't care that the bathroom's untidy, I don't care that the weeding hasn't begun. I don't care that the garbage is not out, I don't care that there's dishes in the sink, I just care that you are happy, And this is what I think, As you scream at me for not doing them, You say you've asked me repeatedly, But could you just move a bit to the left? The TV I cannot see. Cheers
