as bad as all the ****ing mustangs that have Grand Sport stripes on the ****ing fenders....

I hate those fender stripes, but that did not start with corvettes, it started with AC Cobras back in the early 60s, apparently to distinguish the cars from other teams running cobras. IMHO mustang guys have more of a case for using them vs the corvette wash and wax ****.

See I had heard that it started in the 60s with corvettes, hence 'Grand Sport' stripes.

However, neither has SHIT to do with riced out Mustangs of 2018 lololol

that's just vette ****, fwiw the fender stripes were known as FIA stripes......it's ****ing homo on any modern car....right up there with painted tire letters.

EDIT: they were never painted on vettes back in the day either, it was single hashmark that was actually a red piece of tape.
