Ford gifts Saudi Arabian woman her dream Mustang after driving ban lifted

Gas guzzling hideously yellow car.

Seriously? Mustangs, including V8 Mustangs, can get upwards of 30MPG these days. My Corvette gets 29.4 MG overall (for 17K miles). It ain't the sixties any more. As for the color, I guess we should all ask you what color is appropriate.

You,,, you d... you do realize we're talking, uh, dream cars here, ya?

Is a Fiat just too much car for you and that's why you're picking a Volvo?

Volvo is life. I bet you havent driven one. They are an absolute joy to drive bro.

AND they are actually badass. Race one. Hell use one for a truck pull. Watch and see.

It really comes down to ACTUALLY driving one.

Also, almost 100 cubic feet of space INSIDE.

reminds me of an interview i heard with michael rooker. he played merle in walking dead and the blue dude in guardians.

he said the first thing he did when he got the walking dead gig was buy a new volvo like he always wanted

I'm not a big "car" guy, always have driven trucks or at the very least 4x4 SUVs, Jeep, etc. That said, if I was in the market for an actual car, I'd buy a Dodge. Realistically it would probably be a Hellcat, not the Demon. If they came out with a Demon in manual transmission, I'd change that position, though. Imagine how insanely powerful that car would be with a stick.

I'm getting a new WRX soon ... I can justify the purchase with its great value retention and AWD for when I move to the mountains here.

I feel sorry for people who just drive them to the store and back.

Had one for years. They're like a condom on wheels, not exactly a "joy" to drive, but hey! They're safe for yer youngins!

I'm cryin' in my beer here with you, guy, but sticks are clearly on the way out. The new C8 mid-engine Vette will be a DCT only and all the super cars have gone with paddles. About 97% of US cars are now autos. New drivers never even get a chance to learn a stick so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They are pretty good theft deterrent, though.

I just saw a General Lee driving around my town about an hr ago.

I've had a few. Incredible cars, especially the older ones.... But I wouldn't say I ever got a thrill other than driving in over a foot of snow with my old 240dl. It handled it great, the weight of it really helped out, and the fact hitting the gas too hard won't necessarily cause you to break traction haha.

I posted that just because I saw someone flying the Confederate flag today on my way to the store.

Odd thing to see in Hoosier land.

... So what about the rest of the Women in Saudi Arabia? Do they get a gift like that as well?

I don't know why, but that lady standing next to the Mustang is so beautiful.

American Freedom expressed in Exhaust notes.

I hope the World see's the joy that woman is in and gets to experience such a feeling as well.

If we're going with dream cars then these are my vote.





For something a little more attainable..

Probably donated by the CIA,I've seen those Mustangs leaving car events,running people over,crashing,more like giving her a deadly weapon,friends don't let friends drive Fords

A Mustang?

I'd have professed undying love for Mazerati or something. Missed it by that much, ma'am.
