I'll try to keep my moth shut on this thread.
That article really made me :lolguy:.
Mainly because I know quite a few people in my age range with a greater appreciation for cars as a whole than the "older" generation.
Allow me to use this as an example, take me and a few friends to a Classic Car show, mainly limited to older muscle, hot rod's, rat rod's and the like, and we would spend an insane amount of time gawking over classic's of old time, and desperately wishing we lived in an era where cars like this were still produced.
Now, throw an "old-timer" into the reverse role. Take him to IFO, Import Alliance, Street Life tour, or something similar, and he would be too busy looking at anything but the cars, and if he did, it would surely be only a glance.
It's really amusing to me when an older gentleman walks into my work and is driving something older, and I start to ask him about the car, the modifications, and talking about cars outside of Camaro's, Mustang's, Charger's, Challenger's that were made back in the day, and the soon to be had astonishment that comes on his face when he realizes a "youngster" knows what a carburetor is. Then he ask's what I drive and what is done to it, and looks like I just spoke Japanese to him..which I guess is sort of what I do.
There are younger people that have an appreciation for older cars, and more than you'd think. But unfortunately they are vastly outnumbered by the Honda crowd and others who don't give a damn about cars of yesteryear.
Guess trying to keep my mouth shut didn't work.
