Not just FE...Hot rods, muscle cars, race cars and hot boats in general. The younger generation is not following in their fathers or grand fathers foot steps. Seems they are more interested in I-phones, drones, computers and whatever the latest electronic gadget that comes out. Every year that I go to the drag races it seems it is more "greybeards" and fewer young people than the previous year. With the cost involved in owning a car, any car, most can only afford one. That one car has to be basic transportation, commuter car, insurable and get as good of fuel mileage as possible. Add the fact that most have nowhere to work on a car eliminates those few that would like to have a second "hobby" car. Most, if not all high schools no longer has any type of shop class so the average kid doesn't know a 9/16" box wrench from a dead blow hammer and doesn't care. Lord forbid they should get their hands dirty. Old cars [80s and earlier] are no longer affordable, parts are getting hard to find and with the "Barret/Jackson" buy & flip mentality everyone who has one of these old cars thinks it is a world class classic and is priced accordingly. Lets not forget that in most states the car has to pass smog and/or safety inspection, another road block. As I see it we are a dying breed.
