What owners wrote

On may 25th, 2016 I was driving my 2010 ford mustang down vineville avenue when a car stopped in front of me and my car came crashing in to theirs, my front end of my vehicle went under the tail of their car, upon impact my airbags did not deploy. On that day I was getting another chance at life ,thankfully I had my seat belt on ,because I could have been easily another addition on the list of fatalities.

I just bought my 2010 mustang, a car I've wanted for well over a decade and noticed the bubbling on the hood. I figured this would be something I could just take to a body shop and have fixed for a few hundred dollars, but after reading up on this issue, it is not from rust, it is from the aluminum hood being contaminated before ford painted it, and if I repaint the issue will just come back.
