True car people are becoming a thing of the past

plenty of young car people out there.. they are just into a differen't scene then the oldheads. infact ythe oldheads many times look down and alienate them far too often.

ofcourse they aren't buying claissic iron.. be stupid as young kid on a small budget to pay 10k for a rusty POS. they are more into whats cheaper and more available like imports.. can't blame them..

hell the last decade or so when atco raceway was still open the biggest crowds were on import weekend. and trust me the young way out numbered the oldheads..

lots of gatekeeping, that's for sure.

also, a lot of the people with the knowledge either aren't here anymore or don't have the ability to pass it on any longer.

a lot of the guys i came up learning from, working in their shops, shooting the **** with at the parts counter or hitting up swapmeets and car shows are either: dead, physically no longer able to, or their priorities shifted and cars are now a very small part of their life.
