I read an interesting article the other day on the new Mustang, Shelby GT 500 and it made me realize a few things.

In the article the writer was complaining about the cars lack of refinement in handling and interior appearance.

In comparing the Shelby GT 500 to life I began wondering are we too complacent?

Do we really want our life to be run by someone or something else for us?

The Mustang is about exhuberance, power, raw edge performance. A car that lets you know that you are alive and that if you want to continue to be you'd better do something about it!

IN that car you will feel the bumps of life not smoothed out by fancy mechanicals, you will lose control if you don't have a good grip on things and know what you're doing not have something control every reaction for you.

There are so many other things that I thought about but what it comes down to is that Life is an experience that's beautiful and dirty and your missing out on it if you don't leave those screaming, smoking tire tracks behind you once in awhile.
