I find when driving my Azura Blue '90 in warm weather, with the top down, very few other motorists even look at my car. After all, it looks like a Mustang from the front, from the rear and from the side. A few might recognize it's a color they have never seen on a Mustang - but that's it.
However, with the roof UP .... Now I get THE looks. They see the Mercedes style roof, and and and ... it's on a Mustang. It's the "What gives" look.  THAT is when they beginng waving and yelling out the window, "What kinda car is dat??"
Anyone else find this to be true ?

My '89 seems to get double takes and questions top up or down. In Vegas a group asked if it was a prototype for the new Mustang.
St. Pat's parade coming up this Saturday. We never know who will be in the car. For Vet's day it was the Governor of AZ.

Had a kid in a riceburner with a wing the size of a billboard ask me one if my CSX6000 Cobra was a Miata....
His dad should be shot for raising a kid that ignorant! |

about a split second after the kid asked you that question, I would've shown him that it in fact was no freakin' miata........

I laughed at him, offered to drag his shoebox faster than it could go by itself, and racked the throttle a bit in neutral. I hope that either convinced him or sterilized him. |

| My 89 black on tan gets driven approx. 7.394% of it's total out of garage time with the top up, so it's hard to make a comparison. From personal experience, if I had to guess, I'd say majority of looky lou's/qusetion askers/perplexed faces are with the "top down" position. |
