While setting at a red light the other day, I was watching as the cross traffic came through the intersection. Car after car, SUVs and minivans, and nothing that would attract the attention of a car enthusiast. Nothing that would inspire a young person watching to become a car enthusiast.
What a difference from when I was young. Back in the old days, as young people were getting close to becoming new drivers, the streets were filled with interesting cars. Many different styles and colors, with plenty of two door hardtops and a few convertibles mixed in. Always something to grab our attention.
With some of my grandchildren reaching that age now, its sad to think that there is almost nothing on the streets today that would inspire a young person to become a car enthusiast. With the lack of young people showing up at the car shows, It makes me wonder if we are a dying breed.
