Don I still see alot of people my age(60) at shows, but I also see alot of young generations coming into the sport with trucks and cars(ricers)with little 4 cylinder engines with a big chrome muffler on the back which sounds like a lawnmower. Now I have nothing against these young people doing what they are doing in there own generation gap, but in 20 years you won't see a quarter of the olds style hot rods like you see today. You use the excuse that us old timers are putting more money into our vehicles, but that not the case. Those newer cars with the exotic paint jobs and all the other stuff they put into them is probably costiing as much as we would pay to build a nice 32 roadster or whatever.

This is just my opion but I hope if I live another 20 years I can still see and enjoy what I grew up with and thats old cars and trucks rodded or restored and driving the hell out of them to shows and ocassional drag racing between friends.
