Where did all the Muscle Cars go?

So anyway, about where did all the muscle cars go. Sure it sucks you don't see many cool cars cruising around all the time, but doesn't that make it all the better when you finally do? Here's what I don't understand, I drive an 86 Mustang GT and my friend drives a 1970 Chevelle 396. We'll run into a bunch of kids from school that drive hondas and give them a few burnouts or whatever and everyone thinks it's cool and they wish they had a rear-wheel drive car that could burn out. I paid $2000 for my mustang and my friend payed around $7500 for his chevelle. Instead of people spending $10,000 for a honda or an acura (then another $2000 for rims,foglights and a windshield sticker), why don't they actually buy a car they think is cool and save themselves thousands of dollars?
