Re: Sad where the hobby is headed
I don't feel sad at all...there is and always will be an enthusiast to pick up where we left off. I get to play with my **** for awhile and then it becomes somebody else's. My hope is it will be a friend or family member but if not they probably have something they like more they're playing with.
Life is good have fun! |

Re: Sad where the hobby is headed
I'm part of the "younger genrarion ". My genrarion could aford them if it they whare not so lazy. They rather spend all thare time on there phone and tv then do somthing that actually matters. (yes I see the irony as I'm on my phone) haha. Thes pickups are part of history and I like the fact that its old and nobody under 30 could even drive it.

Re: Sad where the hobby is headed
I've often had the same thoughts. I have my folks truck that they bought new. Now when I'm gone, wonder where it will go. 1 daughter and 2 step daughters and non have any interest in an old truck. Oh-Well when I'm gone I won't know what happens to it.

Just to clarify I didn't mean they couldn't afford them because they are lazy and broke I meant that the price of purchasing, enjoying and maintaining is getting a lot higher and out of the reach of many ppl who would. It's becoming myself included. |
