Re: Navel gazing & the future of the car hobby
Denis, my thoughts on the Steve Jobs car while he was known celebrity, he was not considered of a status that would cause most people to get excited over. On the reverse side, had that BMW been owned by the present First Lady, I would have expected the bid results to be much different.
One other thought, while many younger people today are not interested in cars, many older people today who like/own collector cars were not necessarily interested in cars during their youth. Trends & fads always seem to have cycles, and what I have learning in the 50+ years around this hobby is that collectors cars have always been enjoyed by mostly the middle-age, -and older crowd. Ironically, when the 'old people' get too old to play with their autobile any longer, a younger 'old person' seemingly is ready to buy their car and go enjoy it.
