for me it's having the joy of owning a nice sweet fast ride.I'm partial to the mustang because of how reliable it's proven to be.165XXX miles on my old 93 GT with H/C/I and never left me stranded and never leaked/used a drop of nothing and I loved that about these cars.i've tried to get into another hobby but having a mustang is like drugs to an addict just can't get enough of a good thing.i've owned several stangs and although they break me trying to mod them I just can't go without one under my carport LOL! and besides a mustang is one of the most respected cars on the road,when you mention mustang on the street or at the track folks already it's gonna run good and thats an awsome feeling IMO.
