Time eventually becomes a more valuable commodity than money. The sooner a young man figures that one out, the better his formula for balancing the two will be later on.
Whole clubs, communities, segments of the automotive/motorsport hobby are dyin' off.
Even so, it's gonna be OK. The T guys know it. The classic guys know it. They even do surveys and study demographics to see what's becoming of their membership.
It's (ahem)........................dying....................
Or at least becoming all Q-Tips. One theme, though, has it that population growth and continued widespread enhanced quality of life will cause there to be more folks seeking diversions.... and then there would be enough out there to become custodians to the finite, limited, not-growing number of real hot rods (or classics), or the subject original iron..... to become these things.
So we don't need to be involved (worried enough to try to shape it and nurture it) in what follows. We don't need a "Junior' page or something to perpetuate what we think is bitchin. From what we've seen, any younger guys who really get it, have got it without prompting and they got it so good (bad) that they are already accepted by all of us...as peers....or superiors....and that's natural evolution without genetic manipulation.
Still, some of the larger population of younger guys (largely) don't have much idea what traditional means; they think pictures of dubs and sculpted interiors fit in a traditional car - and no one proffers the obvious rebuttal because they are all in it to have a 'community' and don't want to run off their, apparently, only friend.
The rare exception we've seen lately is when someone fucked up the nomenclature of a car's description and a guy from another web page corrected the totally wrong description, and then somebody said, "...oh, but the (wrong) word is so much cooler....".
But wrong.
We need smaller crowds. Oh yeah. 19 is one, isn't it?
