The KCnet "High-Speed" Mustang

Drivers and passengers alike may be a bit surprised when they see this bright blue and orange Mustang approaching in their rear view mirrors. But the folks at KCnet believe it is exactly the right metaphor for their new High-Speed DSL service.

"Our DSL service is fast and we wanted potential users to know just how fast," said James Nelson of KCnet. "Our DSL services is up to 50 times faster than traditional dial-up service and what better way to convey that than with the style and look of an American made muscle car."

KCnet plans appearances for their new "High-Speed" Mustang at various local events such as car shows and parades. So if you see it cruising around town, be sure to stop and say hi!
