[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 15482853, member: 15703"] Car enthusiasts as a whole have a huge chip on their shoulder. Just because we like cars and use our hands to build/modify them, somehow we're better than somebody that has zero interest in cars, or lacks mechanical ability? That saying that not everyone is a doctor or lawyer is true across the board. Not everybody is a car enthusiast or mechanically inclined. That doesn't make them bad people and it does make us inherently better. Using mechanical ability and an affluence for cars as a barometer of an entire generation of people (and men in general in this case) is not only foolish, but it's the exact type of thinking that this community tends to rail against from the left. As it pertains to this forum and liking/working on cars, lets not forget that these are expensive hobbies. Emphasis on hobby there. The millennial generation was told by everyone from their parents to their guidance counselors that the way to prosperity is through a college education. Working with your hands is demeaning work now and so we as a society and the generations for-bearers pushed those kids in a direction that ended up saddling them with large amounts of debt, training them for jobs that either pay very little or don't exist at all. It's not that the millennial generation doesn't have interest in cars, it's that they can't afford it. All you have to do is watch guys like David Patterson and see what he's doing in the community to realize that cars and hotrodding isn't over. It's just different not than what most here believe it should be. [/QUOTE]
