But I've seem it coming since I was still living in Calif. back in the 80's. When I first got the I should have seen it then but things were still trying to hang on as long as they could back then, we had like 3 speed shops in Bakersfield for a while and they slowly closed down. Most of the people that had nice cars slowly parked them in the gargages and left them because te COP's would leave us alone on the weekends because we were in compliance with emissions regulations or something. After leaving Calif. things really went down hill for me since I was married and there were kids in the house that needed things more than the car did along with a bad job market and low wages being paid for skilled jobs.
