Ford is also promoting performance. It jammed a mammoth V-8 engine into its compact Mustang and produced a car with neck-snapping acceleration: 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 7.2 sec.

I think that the simple fact of never leaving the city must be one of the most insupportable conditions of poverty, but I wouldn't know...
...such payments, and her campaign was not hurting for funds: Byrne had raised a record $10.6 million. But her campaign committee is currently $270,000 in debt, and Byrne still managed to find a loose $4,066 in its treasury to finance, with trade-in, a brand-new black Mustang.
