I bet a lot of people who do the car thing when they are younger get tired of it and do other things when they get older. I used to like cars and would work on them a lot ( I had to, I had a SHO) but wrenching and hanging out doesn’t do it for me anymore. There will be the diehards who enjoy it as a life long hobby but a lot get burned out on the money and time it takes. I can replace the plastic and motor on my bike for the cost of headers for a car/truck. Going to car shows is fun but I can think of a lot of other things I would rather be doing.
I have the money to enjoy a hobby and keep my wife happy and my house current on the payments but my hobbies change from time to time. I do like coming on here to read how you losers are doing from time to time though.
