This is a difficult subject for us who grew up as young guys working on our own old clunkers. A lot of us grew up learning how to do just that by working on the farm machinery. Times change whether we like it or not. I dread the day when there will be no gas engines to work on any more. Heck, unless you have a bunch of new equipment to diagnose what is wrong, most of us can't even work on our new cars today. That SUCKS for me, someone who has always fixed my own car problems for over 55 years.
On the flip side, I envision kids wearing some kind of gas mask with an oxygen supplement system just to go outside. Will we be living in airtight homes with expensive air filtration and supplement systems to keep the air breathable for us. I know what the air was like growing up in the 1950/1960's, but what will kids see in the 2050's/2060's? I forsee car racing to start going away for ICE cars. When we need to watch our financial health, we start looking for the small things first. ICE car racing would only be a small help and it is entertainment for some, but I think it will be getting attention some day soon. In the future I think ICE cars will be fazed out by increasing the costs of fossil fuels until it is so much cheaper to go EV. Fellows, we have lived in a wonderful time for ICE cars. I would say the golden years of automobiles, but many would argue the golden years were the 1920's-1960's. It sure was great while it lasted! By the time they get around to outlawing motorcycles, I will be too old to ride anymore, otherwise I would be an outlaw! I am sure some of you feel the same way about your 914's. I would if I still had one. Tom |
