Default Re: Parts prices are killing our hobby

I agree. In my car club of over 140 people I am the third youngest at 38 yrs old. Most of the guys are 55 to 80. Same thing when I go to cruise nights. I'm the youngest guy there 99% of the time with a car older than 1970.

I don't think the younger generation, in particular millennials have any interest in this hobby whatsoever.
They have no bond to these vehicles, their parents didn't own them, in some cases even their grand parents didn't.
They are not raised with any mechanical knowledge. The vehicles now are almost completely unserviceable.
And lastly, the generation that really knows these vehicles well is heading into their more advanced years.

At 47, I feel like I'm the youngest guy on here half the time.
