Unreal intake manifold cost

Shoot even at $300, technically that intake lost value. $80 in 1976 is like $400 in today's dollar.
Before long it's going to lose more value than that. The hobby that we're in is losing popularity more every year. I don't know about where you live but Missouri doesn't have a quarter mile track anymore. Salvage yards are pretty much dried up. The younger generation is wrapped up in high tech 4 bangers. The current generation is involved in iPads, driverless cars, electric vehicles. I'm thinking that the hobby as we know it will probably be a thing of the past within the next 5 years and no I'm not being negative, stating plan facts.
