I'm not surprised. I am GUESSING that most of the regulars here are 50 years old,or older.
The reason for this is the same reason we love these old cars. When we were kids growing up we saw our fathers,older brothers,neighbors,and the "Kool Kids" in high school working on and driving them. This made our connection to them very personal. We wanted to work on and drive them too,just like the people we admired.
The truth is this is a dying hobby. Within another 20 years or so it will be illegal to drive any pre-computer car or truck,and probably even tractor and lawn mower,without a special "one-time permit".
Hell,by that time the left might succeed in having us all living in "Stalin Apartments" in cities and forbidding even owning a car without a special permit.
At any rate,with rare exceptions the teens of today that are growing up and interested in cars and trucks are mostly hot rodders,and they will be lusting after stuff like the 4dr Hemi Dodges,supercharged Mustangs,etc,etc,etc. 20 years into the future the lucky ones (those with the "right" connections) may even be able to get special permits to buy gas to drive one once a week!
Add to that the facts that cars were simple to work on prior to the 1970's,and anybody could go to a Sears store and buy enough Craftsman tools and a box to put them in for a reasonable amount of money,and for the most part needed very few special tools to do anything at
home. Not to mention none of our neigbors could even imagine such things as "Homeowners Associations" ready to spy on and report anyone doing anything so low-cultured,and more than ready to hit you up with fines.
We are a dying breed,regardless of generation. We,and the automotive world are the victims of circumstances,and there is no fighting that.
