True car people are becoming a thing of the past

the young guys are out there, it's just that they're few and far between.

also, the cost of doing business is a major hurdle. gone are the days of $500 /6 darts and cheap plentiful parts. everything is a mint these days: machine work, mechanical work, performance goodies.

just look at ebay, c'list, offerup, fakebook and read the listings: rare, vintage, collectable, classic, hard to find. there's a price tag associated with all those words.

i will note that the amount of people who know nothing about their classic car and just say: "i dunno, i bought it like this" is much more prevalent than it used to be.
