Not enough younger people in this hobby...

I agree the hobby lacks a lot of younger people. That said, IMO, there are too many of all ages that just jump in with the checkbook and don't give a damn about anything else.

Not learning about the history of the hobby. Not caring about what lead up to the car you got. Not caring enough to even learn how to change your own oil. All that leads to things like $6K header installations. No offense meant to that member. He ran into a crooked shop. Still though, had he learned how and grabbed a wrench......

What we need are young people who actually care enough to learn about Don Garlits, Kenny Bernstein, Bob Glidden, Dick Landy, Tom Hoover and on and on and on and actually give a DAMN about where the hobby came from.

Far as I'm concerned, we could use to boot some people out of the hobby. Some people are only in it because the cars "look cool" or they want to flip something. We need people who actually give a ****. Everybody else can go to hell.
