I'm 36, and most of my buds are Gen-X or Millennial. I've got a bunch of them coming over to my shop tonight to hang out and have some beers. 1400 whp owner built GTR, two different 650 whp C6 Z06s, 780 rwhp silverado, 940 rwhp K/5 Blazer, freshly finished and un dyno'd single turbo Viper, pro-touring big turbo Buick Grand National and a few more. Oldest owner in that group of cars is 37, youngest is 28.

Like has been mentioned...don't give up on the younger generations.

Where's this? Idk any of these folks.

All my buddies got 275 radial cars, grudge cars, etc. Maybe its the part of the country you live in. The economy in DFW is hard to beat. I talked to a rep for TNT today; told me he sold 60 boats last year. lol

I'm standing at my desk. Bought a house 2.4 miles from my business. First one here first one to leave.

Love it! I can't tell you how much I appreciate young people with a strong work ethic. I have three grown boys who work hard and are successful because of a strong work ethic instilled in them by seeing how hard work equates to a positive life style. Of course, none of them are pushing wheelbarrows like they did when they were on summer break and conscripted by the "old man". Thankfully they are smarter than I!

Me and a lot of my buddies all had big power cars as well (well for their day lol). Everyone I know got out of that game for some reason. We all go to track events together still but not a soul still owns a big power car lol.

Damn. I've got a grudge car (truck), but the boat takes most of the time. I think it might be different in Texas. Its cheap to live and it makes things easier.
