Default 1st-Hand CHP Mustang Stories

I joined over at the CHP forum to root around for info on my car. Andy posted a thread a while back about his car, so I chimed in too. SparkSVT recently posted there, and the thread has been hijacked into the officers telling stories about their time in the Mustangs. Although some stories have tragic endings, they are certainly worth the read.

Did you notice the common theme through all the stories? These boys were hammering these cars like there was no tomorrow. What a testament to the toughness of these, at that time, "Throw Away" cars.

We are all lucky that as many as there are are left today for us to enjoy.

Also, take note of the trooper's observations that is just as true today - don't overdrive the brakes folks!
