Why is it always a Mustang?

Don't really care the topic or what side you're on but Steve McQueen in that green Mustang always deserves a repost.

Well there’s your problem!  Thanks for the link, not saying it’s applicable to this particular case but I can tell you some local parents here (classmates of our kids) thought it was a great idea to buy 17-18 year olds brand new Mustang GTs as new drivers in high school.  At least two that I know of.  My kids thought it was a bad idea so not sure what the alleged adults thoughts were.  More money than common sense I guess. 

My son recently told me his classmate has a $60k budget for his first car.   I hope he chooses something slow.

I can't imagine how much money I would have to make to buy a kid a car that expensive.

They all think they look like this guy (who's actually backing up in the scene).

If he's going in reverse, wouldn't the smoke be going the other direction?

Since you guys are talking about Steve McQueen........

Looks like they ran the film back in reverse. Go out in your car and drop the clutch in reverse and see which way the smoke goes.

Since we're all about some gratuitous McQueen mustang action, here's the actual scene. Clips at the 1 minute mark.

A lot of folks falsely post this one which is actually reversed

I've probably watched hours of these videos and 99% of these incidents could have been avoided if the dummy behind the wheel had straightened the car before dropping their foot.
