Carnut- Its funny everything you said is exactly what we were talking about at work today. Most people who come into our shop now a days come in for maintence stuff. People arent worried about modifing their cars anymore. The company “APC” just went under, and 5 years ago all I could see on cars were the giant “APC” logos in the front windshields. I dont know if people are starting to just grow away from the fad of “decking out cars” or just started to see how much of a money trap they are. Most of the cars that are out there that hold their value, cant be bought by 85% of the people on here. People by neons, hondas etc etc and never see the money back that they put into it. Or its not “cool” anymore to put bodykits, spoilers or things like that because it is considered “ricer”. I dont think the car world will ever be as popular again as it was back in the years of 2000-2002 during the whole “Fast and Furious” thing.
A lot of guys are starting to go to sport bikes. They love the stupid speed of them and how cheap it is to go so fast. But again that also leads to deaths. I have seen one up close and personal on a sportbike.
