The car hobby in general is not dying, it is evolving. Think about it. Most of us are older, and we are buying, fixing, restoring and enjoying the cars of our youth. The younger folks who are into cars now (let's say 30-50) will likely be more interested in the cars the enjoyed in their youthful driving. Just because a different generation of people are interested in a different generation of cars, that does not mean the car hobby is dying. Add to that the fact that different people have different car taste. For example, there are lots of Low Riders around. Several years ago, I was at a cruise night and I started talking to a young black guy about his car. It was a very nice Cutlass Highboy. Highboys are the cars with wheels and tires so large that the car needs a lift kit. His was very tastefully done. It had a nice silver paint job with some nice maroon graphics and a plush maroon interior in some type of crushed velvet. It was on 20" (if I remember right) wheels. Like I said, it was tastefully done, and it looked really nice. He told me all about his car (in great detail). I was quite interested and complimented him on the car. Then he asked me if I had a car there, and I pointed out my Cuda. Then he came over to look at my car, and we chatted for quite a while. It was a good cruise night.
