My friend Jon e-mailed me this story....:

I've been meaning to tell you this. You and your Stangnet
buddies may get a kick out of this one:
A couple of weeks ago, I had my Ferrari out in the driveway
with the top down when the neighbor across the street came over.
I saw her eyeballing the car for quite some time. She
eventually came to the door to pick up her daughter who was
playing with Devon. She says to me "I didn't know the Mustang
came as a cabriolet". I said "My car? It's a Ferrari". She
says "Yes, the Mustang... I didn't know that Mustangs came as a
cabriolet..."
I was kind of puzzled at the exchange of words. I tried to be
clearer. I said "THAT car? The blue one? That's a Ferrari."
She says "It's a Mustang, isn't it? It has all those horse
emblems on it."
I explained that Mustang AND Ferrari both have horse emblems.
Ferrari's is called a Cavallino Ramparte, I think. (AKA the
"Dancing Donkey", as a joke). I also explained that "cabriolet"
is just a fancy French word for "convertible", so technically,
Mustangs do come as cabriolets.
"Oh, OK".
I never had my car mistaken for a Mustang before. Too funny.
