Dying breed

Grew up in the 60's surrounded by cars cruised by me and my peers usually with our girls sitting tight with us. We all had our cars and built them to the best of our budgets and abilities. Then we cruised them up and down main looking for action and a run out to the measured off 1/4 mile outlaw strip to see how they were running. I'm sure you all knew that a half/rack will fit nicely between the grille and the radiator of a tri-5 chevy. I started with a 49 chev business coupe and went to my first 55 chev 265 3 speed/OD car, my 62 impala SS 409 4 speed car, my 67 Mustang 3 speed coupe, my 57 bel air, my 66 Chevelle, My second 57 bel air. my second 55 bel air 327 4 speed car a 4 year build, my 65 Comet 5 year build my me and now my 67 Barracuda 6 year build by me. Today all my friends are car guys and most are car builders. My Barracuda generates a lot of conversation wherever I take it crossing all generations. For me the hobby is alive and thriving but my kids while liking cars like I do don't participate in the hobby. My 3 grandsons are just trying to survive in todays $15/hour economy and will never have the disposable income to participate. Looking forward it will be nerds trying to figure out how to chip up their battery powered car to get a little more time/power out of the batteries.
The only constant we can count on is that there will be change at a degree we don't recognize in our 60's/70's/80's. That is the way of the world and I am good with that.
