True car people are becoming a thing of the past

This is far more true than I think people give credit for. I grew up in the early 00s. Aside from the barracuda which I have a sentimental attachement to, I really don't care about cars from before like 96 and I think a lot of dudes my age feel the same way. We love cars that we grew up with which are "newer". I have a couple old cars that are cool that I'd love to own like a 66 impala or a 70 camaro but most of the cars I want are around my age or younger. A 91 ZR1, CTSV, Commodore (chevy SS, G8, Caprice), 300 srt, magnum srt8, E63 AMG, 96 Toyota Century, pontiac fiero etc. Those are the cars that I'm like Yesssss for. Also, apparently Chevys lol. I do really appreciate older cars for how easy they are to work on, but my interests are mostly about the newer ones. My next car is going to be a commodore or an E63 not an old one. Honestly project cars just require a huge time commitment or money neither of which I have raising 2 very young kids. Sim racing is cheap, has a one time build cost and provides me with ton's of driving on circuits I'll never be able to go to irl. If money were no object I'd have multiple projects but I don't.



There was a guy here who had that attitude saying "old mopars aren't for young people." He had a yellow dart with QA1 suspension. People like him are part of the reason no one wants old cars. We're like fine, then **** you.


that was probably me. and it wasn't QA1 junk under my car..

i think you took what i said out of context.. i stand by what i said.. classic cars just aren't the place for young people. by young people i mean those in high school into their early 20's.. its not snobery or any of that bull ****.. its economics.. just doesn't make sense.. if thats what one wants, sure go ahead and buy that rusty old junk for stupid money and have to put tons into it to get it road worthy. or maybe daddy has a 60 year stash of parts for you to put it together..who knows it was intended to mean that it makes much more sense to buy more modern muscle. look at the more modern cars you can buy that aren't rust buckets that do everything better then classics at a fraction of the cost of classics. hell, most 4cyl and 6cyl cars of today out perform classic in just about every way, classics are just stupid money to play with. hell at 54 i'm not paying the stupid money they are selling classic muscle for these days.. in a few years when my daughter gets he license i'd totally steer her away from a 60's or 70's car.. we would be looking for the modern mustangs, challengers and camaros and probably a bunch of different imports. she can learn everything she could imagine working on those cars and be able to work on the typical daily driver too since she would have to lean about computer controlled cars...
