So Many Rabbit Holes...

I always laugh to myself when guys out west say...grab a whatever out of a whatever. There's absolutely nothing left in the north east. I saw a late 80's Olds Cutlass the other day. I can't even remember the last time I saw one. Certainly not in the last 15-20yrs. Even 3rd and 4th gen Camaros are a rare sight.
Yes to find any car in any boneyard older than a 2000 in this part of Texas would be rare! Only cars left except maybe the big Calif city pick a parts (maybe!) are in hands of enthusiasts or some old farmer that collected old junkers and they sat in his back pasture for decades!
People will soon, if not now, be building hotrods out of 2000 Stangs. People get tired of looking at idiot priced Mopar projects on CL!
Hobbies are money pits. Only reasonable way is do all the work yourself, and be real frugal.
People want to upgrade brakes, make interiors like new, perfect paint.. it gets expensive.
