Are The New Mustang Boss 429, Boss 302 and Mach 1 From Classic Recreations Wiser Than Wedlock?

By Santosh Rajkumar

Slick, futuristic designs are all very well, but in reality, they don't really make you smile inside. Just like your trophy ex-model wife who you now believe only creates strife. That's why you grinned at the new Ford-licensed Mustang Boss 429 (red), Boss 302 (yellow) and Mach 1 (grey) from Classic Recreations because it was 1969 all over again, and you secretly decided the $200,000 saved for the kid's college fund in the joint account might be put to better use. So how can these ultra-desirable, hand-built cars shake a marriage? The reasoning follows:

4. You drop names like Worx, Stealth, Magnaflow, and Becool at the pub, instead of always nodding quietly at your barbecues in feigned approval of the lady's loudmouth boss and his standard conversation starter of achieving 531 miles on a single charge in his Model X. Mind you, over weak punch.

5. But while you opted for the Mach 1's gorgeous leather seats to hold you during your escapade, they'll never hug you as tight as your Maria when you do eventually go crawling back. She's always right, that even the most beautiful Mustang in the world can't fight...
