Mustang Schorty
My view for 200 miles or so of driving. I'll say this much for visiting Oxford, Mississippi: I had a Ford Mustang for a rental car. That's fairly awesome. Mmmmm. Pecan beer. Sidenote: When did they start removing the awesomeness from cars? Several times I floored the car at a dead stop and it couldn't even squeal the tires. They didn't even momentarily bleep when I hit the gas. Traction control has killed Ford for me. I was visiting my cousin, RyGuy, who is a freshman at Ole Miss. Oxford is a town of about 20,000 people which houses a university of about 20,000 non-resident students. It's like my hometown of Stillwater, Minnesota , but with a major university there. There was an unexpected bonus of visiting the South: Nobody complained about the heat. And I had a Ford Mustang when I rented an economy car, but that's neither here nor there. Southerners expect it to be in the 90s and humid during the day. It didn't disappoint. But it was fine. The trick to sum...
