My wife diagnosed a new condition we're calling "Mustang Neck." It can strike both passersby and nearby drivers - symptoms include sudden involuntary swiveling of the head to track the car as it passes and potentially involuntary gaping. Often the victim is not even aware of their actions.

Long-term side effects are not well understood yet, and should probably be evaluated by actual doctors. Anecdotal evidence suggests a correlation between cases of Mustang Neck and a sudden interest in owning an EV.

Chronic and progressive in nature, prognosis: excellent with treatment. Highly contagious.

I would add that head swivel snap also applies to passengers in the car "can you please stop accelerating so hard, or at least warn us..."

My son and I witnessed a terminal case when coming back from Walnut Creek while waiting at a light. A group of people who were outdoor dining stopped their conversation, and just stared.

So there you have it; the solution to a global food shortage is more Mustang Mach-Es!

Based on the title of the thread, I thought there was going to be an OnlyFans link 😀😀😀😀

I know you all are joking, but my Mach E caused actual neck pain a few days ago. I had pulled a muscle in my neck and upper back area a few days before. Pulled onto a highway on ramp and accelerated hard….OUCH. It pulled my head back enough to tweak that muscle again. Driving slower until I fully recover. 🤣

I was expecting an entirely different type of thread, especially when it started with “my wife and I”
yeah, I admit I thought this would be a reference to my college dance career.

There’s the turn and stares and then there’s also the laugh, which I’m sure not which way to take. Beware of long drive through lines with outdoor seating. If Mustang Neck lasts longer than four hours, notify the NHTSA and stop pressing the pedal so hard.
