How true but then again everything has a lifespan. And when it's over it ends up on the History or the National Geographic Channel. How many twenty to thirty year olds are interested in what we have. They don't read so how would you expect them to read the repair or build manuals. You speak boxed control arms and they think you are talking about a game on XBox. I know, I have them in my house and I also employ them. </div></div>


It's the generation gap.....a couple of years ago I had my '62 Impala SS 409 at a Super Chevy Show and this young man walked up looking at my car, got his cap on backwards and his jeans down around his knees and he says to me &quot;this thing got hydraulics&quot;? Without giving his question any thought I replied &quot;naw, it's got solids&quot;. The kid looked at me kinda funny and just walked away. I don't know if it ever dawned on him but a few seconds later I thought, damn, the kid was asking about the suspension and I'm thinking lifters!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]
