    I forgot my access badge for work and had to come back home to get it, and my wife met me at the end of the driveway. As I pulled up, she was laughing, and I said, "What's so damn funny?" Her answer was, "Really? You need me to actually say it? It looks like a clown car." As she started back toward the house, I heard her say, "Ring-a-ding-ding-ding-ding!", and she laughed even louder.

                This is as a result of his tinkering. It took him quite a while to do.

                    Because they didn't finish the work on the Mustang by Friday. I needed a car to get to work today, so they gave me a Fiesta - much to my future ex-wife's amusement...

                          While I know that JSOP was referring the the fiesta, any one who has tried to take more than 1 friend somewhere in a Mustang will definitely get the impression that it is a clown car. Sure, 10 people will fit, 5 in the trunk, 1 driver, 2 front seat passengers, and two sitting in the fold down rear seats. Cartooney.

                          Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                                when a bug hits its windshield?

                                    I forgot my access badge for work and had to come back home to get it, and my wife met me at the end of the driveway. As I pulled up, she was laughing, and I said, "What's so damn funny?" Her answer was, "Really? You need me to actually say it? It looks like a clown car." As she started back toward the house, I heard her say, "Ring-a-ding-ding-ding-ding!", and she laughed even louder.

                                    I think I see what is coming. You’re going to sell the Mustang and keep the Fiesta.

                                        Given the size of the car, body mods should cost less, but I'd really hate to give up the custom wheels I bought... :)

                                          Keep the Mustang, get a Fiesta as a present for your wife. It should even be easy to wrap! :)
