The future

I think in the near future restomods will be the hottest ticket as the big manufacturers continue to make more efficient and fast drive trains there will be those who will incorporate them into old cars (old being relative). Hard to say what the distant future (40+ years) will bring, however I personally believe that the "fossil fuel" thing has gotten way over blown and we (humans) do not understand it as much as we thought. I read that some testing of the oil in the gulf was showing that oil may be being produced naturally at a much higher rate than we thought; meaning it is not as finite as was expected. That said, the path has been laid to development of other energy/fuel sources and eventually there will be a break through that yields something else. Whether it will be better or not than oil remains to be seen. We as humans always seem to think that the latest discovery is infallible and perfect only to determine the error of our ways later. Perhaps hydrogen will be the next energy source or some other yet unidentified thing.

Regardless, there will always be hotrodders willing to push the limits and build something cooler and faster.
