Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,900 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
A little concerned about recent issue of Pano & the early cars for sale!
Most recent issue had 3-4 356's & no 912's! 914s were sparse too & most were DE or track cars. What's the thought? Are we becoming dinos too, just like the 356/912 people? Or, do we just not go to PCA these days? Like to hear your commennts. Pat |

The only way we are becoming dinos are that an entire generation of car loving guys are growing up without the experience of actually working on their cars.
Where we grew up changing our own oil, changing plugs, adjusting carbs, timing, working on brakes, repairing rusty vehicles, today's kids can't touch an engine with all the engine management computers plus spark plugs now last 150K miles. Oil change: go to JiffyLube. Brakes? Take it to the shop. Today's tuners put cold intakes on; fart cans on the exhaust, chip the motor. Rust repair: almost non-exstitent these days with plastic and gavanized metal. That's about it. Put in a new stereo? Buy it from Best Buy and they install it. My daughter's boyfriend couldn't point out the cooling system resourvour from the battery. Never worked on a car with his dad. So from that point of view, those of us who work on cars like we do are dwindling in numbers. |
