This is so tone deaf.

On the contrary, this speaks directly to their target audience

There's a lot more to unpack here then it being a car ad.
"old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in" is a completely foreign concept in modern society.
-
On the part of the company as well.
If your customer's kids go to college, they'll grow up to earn more money that they can spend on pointless expensive cars in the future.
But we need to chop down that tree for firewood. Not because they're cold, but because they like a nice pile of firewood.

That's a proverb I heard many times from Russian acquaintances.
Why do you hate freedom?

The most narcissistic generation of parents yet.

There's so many depressing layers to that joke. Like a sad, sad capitalist onion laughing at its own rotting core.

Most of the comments here belong to r/orphanCrushingMachine, or the lemmy equivalent.

If my dad was an advertisement.
-
Sure he didn't want to help his children with college, but strangers are going to notice him more due to the car he's driving and you can't put a price on that.

I just everyone driving a (at least a new) muscle car, fairly or unfairly be-damned. It shows you waste your money and care more about appearing "cool" above many other things. Either that or you're insanely rich which also makes you a bad person. People in mustangs and corvettes are always the one putting the pedal to the floor to get to the next stop light. Fucking moron assholes.

Education shouldn't cast a sports car.
-
If that sports car were an MX5 Miata or a BRZ/86, it would be a massive improvement if you could get a degree even from a state university for that price!!
-
Crazy how college is so expensive in the US that your parents gotta start saving 20 years in advance.
(Im guessing this is the US and also seeing this banner just gave me that thought)

The Micheal Jordan meme has entered the chat.

To be fair, there's a good chance that there isn't much of a future for kids cuase you know ..... gestures to everything

Just to cut off the rage bait. This would have to be at least a 4-5 year old sign. They stopped selling the GT350R in 21 I think. So this car is not readily available to buy anymore. And it’s worth even more now. It’s just a silly joke. There’s like maybe a nine hundred GT350R’s in existence. I would rather the Mach1 with the track attack package. But I enjoy my Gen3 Coyote in my 2019 GT. I barely drive it as it is and usually take my eBike everywhere. I only have a eBike because of spinal nerve damage. I can go for hours on it. Where a normal bike wears me out by the first hour.

That's probably the worst ad I've ever seen.
So anyway, I'm buying foreign.

That'll be 10 billion dollars environmental tax please. Gotta protect against these polluting eco sedans and EVs

-
Let's face it, the people dumb enough to buy one of these probably aren't raising college material.

This picture is almost 10 years old now, definitely from the beforetimes

The Mustang has been the car of choice for mid-life crises for a long time.

I went to public university in
<bad evil Arab country>
, and not only was it free but we got a monthly allowance. It wasn’t some subpar education, I managed to get a 6-figure salary working in the US for a Fortune 200 company until I decided to move back earlier this year.-
Next thing you gonna tell me highschoolers working part-time during schooldays like they do in US is not much accepted in
<bad evil Arab country>
because they are encouraged to study.And then you are gonna tell me "I don't want 16 year olds to be making as much money as me" doesn't come up in mimimum wage arguments.
And then you are gonna take it up a step and even tell me religious people including Muslim priests especially support this as having Nobel-candidate Muslim scientists in their community helps a lot.

That's so dystopian

Targeting that mid life crisis dad.

Someone actually did think of the children. Not in a good way, though.

Tbf I have more respect for enthusiast car ownership than many other types of cars.
I walk most places, take the train and limit the use of my own car. (mazda6 estate) Hard to do now that I have a three year old.
I would love an El Camino with an 400hp xl engine. A completely useless car that will be mostly tinkering and some summer driving. A Shelby is a nice car, and if cars are a hobby I say go for it.
I have more issues with oversized cars clogging up my town on what could have been done with a bike or by foot

Yay Capitalism!

Excuse me sir! The ad is working, look at all the comments! Oh you wanted to sell cars! Sell! Ah I see. Okay, well give us a few minutes, we'll correct this problem...
-
I do not understand the concept of parents paying for college anyway. Mine didn’t have the means to do that and I didn’t want them to stress over having to do it, so I did it myself.
-
paying for your kid's college makes more sense if you have the means, as opposed to taking a loan
-
I also took care of my own college costs, but I can see how cost growth has far exceeded the general inflation rate and federal aid has been shrinking, to put that out of reach.
Also I benefited from a significant scholarship from my Dad’s employer, and that kind of thing just doesn’t exist anymore. There aren’t any for my kids to reach for

-
The real problem is that college is over priced. Again you people keep focusing on the wrong problem.
-
It can be both at the same time. They aren't mutually exclusive.
