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 |

I think the newer generation sees working on cars as a chore and would much rather spend there time texting. The car to most was freedom, but a lot of the youth would rather not drive so they can twitter there facebooks on the bus. You can usually spot them with there heads down trying to walk.
I also think culture is just changing. People in most neighborhoods don't like you working on your car it brings down the property value. My town got low marks for desirability because most people own cars over 10 years old. I remember when most neighbors respected driveway mechanics and did not give you dirty looks. The pca has been more friendly to me over the years, but I don't know if 914s have gained more respect? or it's me getting older and losing more hair has earned the respect? My son thinks dinosaurs are cool so I like being a Dino, besides I don't even have a cell phone yet. |
