Just today my mother told me she likes the new Mustang GT-500 and she would not mind owning one. This elicited no small amount of joy from me as well as a little bemusement thrown in. The first emotion is obvious. To have a septuagenarian get a little pumped up about horsepower and top speeds is a bit of a fun novelty. How cool is that having your elderly mother want to tool around in a modern muscle car? I was beaming with pride.
