Ford Mustangs have developed a bit of a meme-tastic reputation over the last few years, thanks to drivers speeding out of cars and coffee meetups and crashing. It's a case of those owners pushing their cars past their own abilities. Unfortunately, a recent incident on Angeles Crest Highway in California won't help shake the stereotype. A week ago, the driver of a Grabber Blue Mustang Boss 302 decided to ignore shelter-in-place orders and go for a drive in the canyons—sadly, they wound up sending their car, themselves, and a passenger 400 feet down a steep embankment.

At some point, Bob Regehr had an idea. We don't know when or where it happened—in the shower? at the breakfast table? during a nightcap?—but the idea was to create the Moon Walk bouncy house, an inflatable contraption for kids to jump in. At that point, Bob Regehr owned a few gas stations, but it was his invention that made him rich. And so Bob did what any of us would do upon coming into money: He bought a ton of cars, including '32 Fords, Corvettes, and vintage hot rods. Now many of those cars are for sale through VanDerBrink Auctions, meaning you have a chance to buy the collection that bouncy houses built.

That reminds me of the movie scene of Tom Cruise driving the 1962 Ferrari GTO (which was a Clone) through an empty Manhattan in the movie Vanilla Sky.
