Thinking of giving it up (a bit of a rant)

you "older" guys cant live in the past.

There are a lot of people like me who were born in the mid-80s and later while you guys were getting everything dirt cheap and in abundance.

For us 80s babies and later, the way it is now is pretty much our world. I do admit that it has changed because even ten years ago when I was younger I used to see more cars than now.

Dirt cheap and in abundance. Yes there were plenty of parts around, but they weren't what we considered dirt cheap. Back in 1968/9, I earned a whopping $1.25 an hour and worked a minimum 56 hours a week in a scrap yard ( where the customers had first chance at the parts), anyway out of the huge paycheck I had room and board (no one lived at home for free). Then there was my gas insurance an other daily requirements. So the parts might have been there, but the money wasn't always there.
