The funny thing is a few years ago I told my partner that just about every Mustang I see on the road is driven by a female, so she started paying attention, and eventually said "Yeah, you're right" ?

Your comment is a little misogynistic so I will leave it there. :rolleyes:
That was deliberate. It also makes a statement about men who associate their perceived masculinity with the car they drive. It can be taken several ways. I meant for it to be taken the funny ways ?

LOL, hard to interpret sarcasm over the internet. Also the whole x car is for girls is stupid, I challenge anyone to not floor a miata, which has always been considered a girly car, for a weekend and not have a grin on your face the whole time, things are like go-carts with car sized engines.

all joking aside, I do appreciate the call-out. Sometimes my sense of humor is a little tone-deaf ?

First Mustang I ever saw was in a Detroit suburb in a church parking lot. Was gobsmacked when my aunt, probably in her 40s (ancient by my reckoning at age 8) was the owner.

I remember seeing the original Mustang being described as a "secretary's car" in more than one publication. ?‍♂?

Since my mother was the Mustang owner in the family, for *my* family it was a former Miss Chinatown's car. ??

When I was young, I remember people referring to base model , underpowered cars (usually Camaros) as “secretary’s cars” ?

Still do!

It’s ok to admit that women and men typically prefer different things.

While girls were playing nicely on the playground, us boys were chasing each other around with sticks. It’s no surprise my wife refuses to floor my GTPE and usually sits and waits while me and my sons ride the roller coasters.

I blame testosterone, and so do the scientists-

The first Mustang I ever saw in 1965 was purchased by a female school teacher.

I thought they made it illegal to talk about gender in the American South ?
I do like roller coasters though - and flooring my Mustang Mach E ?
