I blame bad parenting on why younger people are not into cars.

Imagine this for a second if you will.


Its 2008 your 16 years old you goto get a new car and your parent offer to help you find one but they dont know anything so you get something that gets possibly fairly decent mileage, and easy on insurance you most likley destroy this car but as a 16 guy you try to learn about it do oil changes your self, and maybe just maybe before you kill this car you grow to like it alot because of the fact its been good to you and its your first car.

Next time you get a car you remember the great experience you had with the last one and go for the same make of car but maybe something a bit faster or something that can be made to go fast, you know about muscle cars but as far as you know most dont run and get horrible mileage so you stick with what you know.

That is how it happens I will fully admit the only reason I love fords is because my DAD loves fords if he was a Dodge guy I would be into Dodges simple as that, most REAL car people regardless of age can still respect hard work and effort and the love of a car no matter who makes it or how many are on the road.

You guys talk about younger kids fixing up rice cars that suck and everyone has well guess what? I view mustang owners the same way for the most part they are everywhere even classic ones so for me they do nothing special, but I can respect people who take pride in their ride and treat other people just as well.

So if you want to educate people about cars and get more young people into classics talk to your grand kids and kids depending on your age because their friends also talk to them and influence them also.

But on the flip side classic cars are getting to be more expensive as time goes on and gas aint helping one bit and at 16 you wont me making much more then 8$ at hour at best and you cant usually have a full time job so you are kinda SOL
