There's not much to really say about this one. 1,000 word stories are as short as this site allows, and while I can (and have!) gone into more words than that on the Mustang II, I don't think many folks here are reading this because they want to know all about unloved '70s cars.

Admiral Biscuit can vouch for the fact that I really do have Peanuts pajamas. I bought two pairs the day before leaving for TrotCon back in December, and they're the most comfortable pajamas I own. I wish I'd grabbed more - when I went back, they were all gone.

Granted there was a little twist there at the end, but does it surprise anypony to know Minty used up all her wishes on socks? There's some Equestrian magic (*cough* artistic license *cough*) at hoof. While I can't find photo evidence to confirm this, I strongly suspect the Mustang II's oil warning light just says "OIL" in caps.
...Of course they also don't come with magic genies.
Would anyone have really noticed this (or cared if they did)? Probably not, but it's worth pointing out for accuracy nonetheless. It's why there's a picture of her car and not the light itself.
This raises an important question for clarification: are these "Schulz" Peanuts jammies or Planters "Mr. Peanut" Peanuts jammies?
I actually managed to find a Mustang II instrument cluster on ebay, and... yep, it does just have OIL in all caps.

Schulz. Snoopy for the win!

Thank you for the confirmation! We'll just have to say the light was changed out at some point during the car's history, or possibly that it's a foreign market model that had such a light. Or Equestrian magic. That always works too.
