Well I was poking fun at the post.You're missing the point... It's only the older generation that's keeping the hobby of hot rodding, and classic cars alive. The younger (healthier) people do not have pride in ownership of of something like that, and they sure as hell don't have any interest (or skills) in building one themselves.
But I disagree as I have seen some of the cars at shows that were built by some of the younger generations and they were very proud of their rides and the attention to detail and build quality was as good as anything I have seen in decades.
Just because they chose a different base to build on than older generations would have doesn't mean it isn't cool or impressive.
