Here’s why you’ve been seeing some hilarious Mustang Memes floating around the internet these past few days. 

If you’ve noticed a cavalcade of Mustang Memes floating around the internet these past few days and have no idea why, not to worry as we have the answer. A rash of Mustangs crashing at local car meets in the United States (like this one, and this one or this one) has caused the internet to turn their rage against these drivers who have no regard for everyone’s safety into humor at these unfortunate accidents. Which if you think about it, is actually a brilliant way to deter such shenanigans from actually happening in the first place.

Mostly stock RWD cars have been crashing while leaving car meets ever since car meets where a thing. Only now has the phenomenon of lining up at the end of a driveway to watch the line of cars exiting become a thing. With everyone armed with smartphones, your chances to get some real street cred by making an epic exit increase exponentially at this exact moment. It can also ruin a car meet (not to mention your ego and ride) if you screw it up and wreck.

Check out a couple of our favorite meme’s that have been floating around the internet below. You can find more by checking out our source here.

It looks like the Ford Mustang leaving a Cars and Coffee meet in Chicago was the initial straw that broke the camel’s back and opened up a pandora’s box of previous Mustang’s crashing. This Mustang epically crashed into a ditch earlier this year at a meet in South Carolina. And this one crashed last year exiting a show in Maryland.

A Ford Mustang who showboated and evaded police with their hooliganism all caught on camera earlier last week didn’t do much to put out the fire of comedic hate streaming Mustang owner’s way.

One hero on YouTube went so far as to create this excellent spoof news piece on how, “People Standing Outside Car Meets” are trying to pass a bill to ban Ford Mustang owners from coming to car meets.

There’s even an official petition being comically floated around asking the White House to ban Mustangs from going to car meets as well.
