I’m in Hawaii taking care of the parentals right now, and it is most definitely oppressive (because of hurricane season and not my dad’s terrible jokes). You know what doesn’t happen here, though? Machismo Mustangs going balls to the wall when exiting a car meet and subsequently careening head first into an actual wall, utility pole, tree, you name it. For one Illinois Mustang driver, their choice of adventure was a C6 Corvette.
