I grew up in Beaumont, and delivered that paper at 4:30 AM at age 13, saving $2K for a crappy little Mustang II. I couldn't wait to get away from their and Forest Park High (West Brook now?). Not all that bad a place looking back though.
How can you say "Crappy and Mustang" in the same breath? LOL
I LOVE Mustangs!!!!
After dropping a grand on a new transmission (earned at minimum wage) and watching the plastic panels in the back turn brittle and disintegrate after a couple of years in the sun, crappy was the kindest thing I could say. I agree that the original Mustang was a great car.
