When we moved to Los Angeles five years ago, Cassandra bought her first car ever - a totally badass 2005 black Ford Mustang with silver stripes. She looked like Starsky, if Starsky were hot and a woman and drove really nervously. The only bad thing about the car was that she spent a lot of time talking to young Mexican men at traffic lights. But two years ago, she inexplicably decided that she didn't trust Ford and wanted to get rid of the car before something went wrong. So she bought a used Prius - which now has something wrong with...
...from slaughterhouses. But the better of the 55 pieces are subtler. Hamra Abbas' Ride 2, a fiberglass sculpture of the legendary Buraq, the Prophet Muhammad's winged steed with a human head, is local in its imagery. But the glinting cherry-red form also recalls a highly waxed Ford Mustang. Like it, Pakistan and its revving art scene are poised to drive into the future with one foot in tradition, the other in modernity. May they cruise, not stall...
...husband Todd arrives with great promise - he 'roared' into her life in a Mustang - but then largely disappears. Other things missing: No dissection or prognosis of the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq (though her eldest son is a veteran), no Iran, Israel, China or Russia.

From its inception, in 1967, the Camaro was an affordable sports-muscle car, the brawny response to Ford's revolutionary Mustang. Ford's car was stylish, even cute. Women bought it. But the Camaro had that bad-boy look, and the interior was pretty basic. To many of its buyers, the Camaro was a platform, a sleek sled on which to load one of those muscle engines that GM used...
...engine that goes from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 6.1 seconds. The higher-priced SS model, which I drove, has a 6.2-liter, V-8 engine that tops out at 426 hp and cuts the time to 4.7 seconds to reach 60 m.p.h. Is the twitch-quick Mustang GT a little more responsive off the mark? Maybe, but running the Camaro through second, third and fourth gears will quickly, very quickly, make you forget that distinction. And punching it from 65 m.p.h. to 80 m.p.h. for a brief high-speed pass is a thrill...
