Default Re: Navel gazing & the future of the car hobby

I'm 37.
My wife and I have a 1997 Land Cruiser that we take off road.
I also have a 1931 Town sedan that I daily drive to work and out on weekends.
I can also say that I love the idea of autopilot cars, electric cars, Uber, mass transit, and everything in between. But there will always be a place for us gear heads.

I think there are different types of gear heads... but any gear head is a good one in my book. I don't think the "car hobby" is in trouble or in decline. There are so many different niches even in the Model A world. Fine point judging, touring class judging, daily driver, patina, and then break down into all the models.

I do think the greatest thing a Model A owner can do the for hobby is to actually drive the car. The more they are seen the more we can talk about them, explain them to younger men and women, and talk about how relatively affordable they are compared to other cars.
