So I’ve been driving an MME since my first in ‘21(premium) and I’m a volunteer firefighter. I’ve been getting ribbed for it ever since. They call me Dr. Lithium. But in the fire service, if they don’t bust your chops they it means that they really don’t like you, so I take the ribbing as an extreme compliment because deep down I think they are all jealous! When I got the ‘25 black GT it turned some heads. I think they are now intrigued…somewhat
. They keep asking if they can practice vehicle extraction or do a live burn drill with my car, so maybe that’s what it is! Lastly, we have a nozzle that is used for EV fires, and it’s been mounted on one of the rigs and named after me. Like I said, they must like me
I found this to be one of the funniest and heartwarming stories I’ve read all week. Love the nickname. Thanks for sharing and for your service!So I’ve been driving an MME since my first in ‘21(premium) and I’m a volunteer firefighter. I’ve been getting ribbed for it ever since.

Funny, always seems to be a Dodge driver for me too. Chargers are always revving hard at stop lights. One time there was a Charger, a Model Y and myself at a stoplight. The guy in the Charger was being a moron. Blipping the throttle, popping off his brakes to make the car lunge at the stoplight. I guess he thought he was in Fast and the Furious (BTW, he was wearing mirrored Aviators). I looked at the guy in the Tesla and he smiled at me. When the light turned green, we punched it and left the guy trying to catch up. The Charger immediately turned off on a side road (he had to cross both of our lanes behind us to do it). When we got to the next light a Harley pulled up, he looked at us...applauded, laughed and then road off.
Treat her, spice up your marital life, have a change from Spondon Asda, take her to Tesco at Chilwell, you’ll both never look back, could be the beginnings of a new, adventurous and exciting life together
I’ve had my MME since Dec ‘25 and nothing but compliments…”nice colour”, “that’s very cool”, “is it quick?”…I’m in the process of selling my gas powered lawnmower, so I cleaned it up and was going to put some fresh gas in the tank, so I could fire it up for the person who was coming to see it. Grabbed my jerry can and headed to the gas station…I pull up to one of the islands, proceed to get out and a fellow says “ hey Mr Mach E, you know that’s not a real Mustang and the fuel door is on the other side, and chuckles…thanks I said (being a polite Canadian)…I walk around to the passenger side and grab the jerry can hold it up and say lawnmower!” He smiled and shook his head! I drive home, put some gas in the lawnmower and she fires up and just hums! Out of the corner of my eye I noticed this new desert sand GMC AT4X pick me up pulls up in front of the house and out steps “hey Mr Mach E”, looks at me, shook his head and says “I guess the price went for the lawnmower!” We had a good laugh….best 200 bucks I’ve ever made!
OMG…that is a funny story! Hysterical. Wish I coulda seen the entire interaction.
The very first comment I ever received was, "Nice car. Do they still make the regular Mustang?" Most people, in fact the vast majority, aren't anti-Mach-e togoldytes.
Calling BS on that comment. Whether in my MME, my Honda or on a bicycle the worst clowns are in pickup trucks who tailgate or blow by you only to slam on their brakes at the next stop light. By far the most aggressive asshats on The roadways. Maybe your comment was a joke that went over my head.
Not to derail the thread, but all I was saying is that the Corolla is the only vehicle that makes me road rage just based on the type of vehicle it is. It's always a Corolla doing 10mph under the speed limit on the left lane. It's always a Corolla than turns onto a busy road with no regard to the speed vehicles are already traveling on it. That type of stuff. So if I see a Corolla, the prejudice that the driver is going to do something to completely wreck the flow of traffic is there.
