Daily around-town sojourns never left me in need of chiropractic care or feeling beat up, which is not always the case with performance cars. As such, I didn’t want to give this one back.
Wrapping the convertible GT
There’s something deep inside me that this car touches in a visceral way, making me want to do a milk run at 11 pm for no other reason than to experience its simplicity and raw performance. Over the years, I’ve had some pricey hardware in my garage, none of which have come close to evoking the emotion and excitement of the 2012 Mustang GT Convertible.
And I wasn’t alone in that sense. Neighbours and others—including my ‘performance car’ disdaining wife—wanted to cruise top down at sunset. It’s that sort of response that tells me Ford got it right with the Mustang, despite what some anal-minded critics have to say about its underpinnings.
This truly is one of those cars that I have difficulty parting with. The beautiful weather in Vancouver this week certainly didn’t ease my separation anxiety.
