Alright, time for someone in their early 20's to chime in....

I look at it this way.... All of you "older" people have these muscle cars because that's what you grew up with and hung around in your youth. It is the exact same thing with "ricers" nowadays. "Ricers" are just the same for my generation as muscle cars were for the 60's and 70's generations.

Also, a good mucle car is hard to find for someone that doesn't know where to look. Most teenagers that buy their own cars (and don't have daddy pay for them) want something that they can go ahead, get into and drive. No teenager wants to spend the few years of their youth restoring a classic to driving condition. It's a lot easier to find (cheap) replacement parts for a 90's Mitsubishi Eclipse or a 240sx than it is for a 72 Ford Torino (BLAH!).

Plus, what's the difference between gearheads working on muscle cars and gearheads working on ricers? Nothing.... The only difference is the car. There are just as many "tuner" cars out there as muscle cars, and their just as nice (blasphemy?).
