> [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > Although Gen Auto and Off Topic may be separate forums, they will never be completely apart. Its the role of someone like you that keeps that barrier between the two and in a sense keeps others in check by not bleeding off topic into the Auto Forums. I guess so…I mean, I usually click a thread to get info./post about that specific subject. Seems logical I thought? Anyways, back to the banter, I suppose… ---

That said, the next generation that is in their teens/early 20’s is sort of the video game/generally useless generation that just doesnt carry the same passion that “we” once did. Subsequently the older formerly more passionate members just arent quite as passionate on a day to day basis and that is what makes the meets and events such a positive. People arrange their schedule to make sure they make those great excursions and the day to day on the forum is lost to the younger crowd. Just a thought… ---

I know myself and a few others who are in our teens and extremely passionate about cars, even so much that we’d like to pursue it for a living like a few other members do/have done. I have basically drown my life in cars so much that I don’t have many friends outside of automotive things anymore. Although I do agree with the even newer people than myself that just want to magically have a fast car appear in their driveway and the keys in their pockets. ---

> [@91MR2](#): > > I guess so…I mean, I usually click a thread to get info./post about that specific subject. Seems logical I thought? Completely logical. Very seldomly does the original subject get maintained, which I guess can be unfortunate but, as the topic drifts you get the notice more about a person and what interests them and what they believe in, than just a response to the original post. It does seem awfully robotic to just stay on topic. If everyone just wanted an answer to their question do you think there would be alternatives or I don’t know the context of the original subject really can change how someone would drift away from the original post. Like now, was intended to discuss out with the old in with the new, and it turns into a huge status of this forum thread. Meh, I don’t know I like the entertainment that comes out with large changes. ---

I’m not quite in the late 20’s crowd yet, but I did pretty much get in the scene at a much younger age with you guys. A lot of what I wrote is maybe just to open a few people’s eyes? Will it work? Maybe, maybe not, but I had a minute at work here to type out an eloquent thought, so I said what the hell. Either way, I totally dig what you’re saying. I mean, I too am in the working world (for nearly 2 years now), I bought a house, I have 4 cars, and a wealth of other responsibilities to handle.

I beg to differ there 2turboz, there are plenety of us “next generation” people that are passionate about car more then video games. Now that being said i have about the same passion for both, but i would drop my video game controller in a second if there was a race that i could go to or play video games all day. so i am just saying that the next generation is not all lost, and there is still hope. ---

I think a large part of the trouble with the younger people is that your grammar and spelling generally drives the elders insane…just like this amazing ability to do something as simple as quote. I am positive most of you like cars or enjoy motorsports but that doesnt give you promise for being good forum contributors. What is lost on alot of the “noobs” is that this forum is sort of an “old boys club” where alot of us know each other in person or have atleast known of the screen name for 5+ years and you come to expect certain things from those members. I think its always a new regime/old regime is the lack of respect between both sides. But I am always a believer in earning your place in a society and alot of the younger people on this forum and out in public arent doing anything to earn the respect that they feel they should be given. ---

I try to give everyone some respect on here, and hope to get the same in return. Many of the older members of the board have given me tons of help various times and I respect that and am thankful for that. I’m still an 18 y/o kid, I don’t know it all or even claim to know it all. So I don’t expect everyone on here to love me and give me respect. 🙂 ---
