You are probably more on target here than anything else. A lot of it has to do with not being exposed to them. Just think, we are now starting to sound like our parents. I am sure they thought the same thing when everybody had to throw a thrush or a cherry bomb on anything they drove and ran the piss out of it thinking they had the fastest thing on the road. And don't forget putting the Thrush wood pecker on the window along with the assorted speed shop sticker. It didn't matter that it was on a 307 4 door Nova- they still though they were cool. You will always have kids out there that are going to try and hot rod whatever they have. Some will go to the extreme to do it right and then again some will just be posers. Think about it, we all knew someone we went to school with that had the total wicked car ( it may even have been some of us) But there were also plenty of posers running around who thought they had something. And no the Nova was't mine
