Women have always been attracted to the Ford Mustang since the Blue Oval first rolled it out as a “secretary’s car.” Men enjoyed the optional V8’s; women like the sporty design and available convertible versions. Going forward, both men and women wold prove instrumental to the Mustang’s success… but has Ford forgotten the Mustang’s roots as a woman’s sports coupe?

We can’t say for sure, but if the cautionary tale of Brazilian-born model Sheyla Hershey (above) is any indicator, the Mustang might not be the safe sports coupe women want. The New York Post reported that Hershey, who crashed her car on Super Bowl Sunday, credited not the Mustang, but her size 38KKK breasts, with saving her life.

The 32-year old Brazilian-housewife-turned-Houston-boob-model was driving home last Sunday when she got into a nasty accident. Hershey, who keeps a video blog on YouTube, credits not the Mustang, but her huge breasts for absorbing most of the impact, saying;

“My implants saved my life, my breasts are very sore and I have some scratches on them but I know I would have been badly hurt without them because they are very close to the steering wheel.”

Sheyla, who was not wearing her seatbelt (wonder why…) was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, though she denies the charges. While Sheyla can hardly be called the “average housewife,” one must wonder… is the Mustang still the woman’s sports car of choice? Perhaps now more of them will take a second look at the Chevy Camaro…
