Default Re: Supercars aren't just for baby boomers!

We all can preserve this thing, if we stick together. I have 4 boys, and my youngest soon to be 17 goes to the car shows and drags with me. The biggest difference I see in the kids today is that we were changing cams and carbs in the old days, where they are changing paint graphics and sound systems. None of these kids can afford a corvette, and if you don't like mustangs, there is not really anything to buy!!! When I was making $5.00 an hour, and cars cost $3,000, that was much easier to fathom than when I am making $35.00 an hour and cars, (like the camaros and firebirds) cost $35-$40,000 each. This is why my 22 year old and his buddies mess with the rice burners. One third the price, and with some over the counter parts they run in the 13's easy. One catch though: I don't let them park those tin cans on my property!! Ha-Ha Sam 1969 RS/Z28
