    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

        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! :)

                      That, and on the plus side, make up for all of her (cruel, but true) jokes.... Of course if you get caught driving it, you would have to give up your "Man Card". Just sayin'.

                        I used to have 87 Fiesta ( still have it back in Europe). Very useful as a city car, you can forget where the gas station was in the time between two refuels. But outside the city is where the fun starts. Driving Fiesta on the mountain roads in my country is a thrilling experience, every turn makes you feel closer to the Maker. And if you drive for more than 30 minutes on the highway with 80 (the speed limit) miles per hour and survive, they give you the local version of Medal of Honor.

                          I like my Ford Fiesta (12 years old now and going strong), its better than My Mothers PT Cruiser, its a Hell of a lot quicker.
