Of course a Corolla won't sell for that much, but you might see a classic suped-up Celica or something of that ilk go for so much. My main point is that Mustangs did not originate from glory, but worked their way up mainly due to the kids who bought them as cheap pransportation, and beefed them up for fun.
And I wholeheartedly agree that some ricers take thigns way too far, with way too little taste. Hence my love for
