Our annual car show is tomorrow, and we welcome all of them. Car people take pride in their car. Some are not able to build something themselves, so the only option is to buy something. If they are not able to maintain a classic car then they buy something newer. They are still proud of their car, just the same as I am proud of my '69 Camaro. We have classes for old cars and new cars so that they don't compete against each other.

I feel the hobby overall is showing signs of aging out. While it does reinvent to a degree, overall the trajectory is not favorable. Having said that, I don't think it is a good idea overall to start drawing lines in the sand. Do I care to look at a new to 10 year old car? In most cases no. But, you need those people and have to respect what makes them tick.
I remember when a 67 Corvette was a 10,15,20 year old car. Myself and many other people lusted after them then, as they do today. Last edited by napa68; 08-29-2025 at 12:53 PM.
