    The thrill is gone?

    I think in the end its just a car or it gets to that point as we get older priorities change etc. You know to the person who doesn't have his or her car yet the excitement is there for it . After you've had the car 30 years its different... it doesn't mean you aren't into it but its...

    I dunno if my passion is waning. I will say I enjoy driving my cars but where is there to go? I entered a small Lions Club car show last weekend and enjoyed it actually.
