impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market
From what I've experienced being 27, younger people overall love the looks and sounds of classic muscle cars but are intimidated by the (supposedly) higher level of maintenance and are too worried about not having competitive performance with modern cars, even if the majority of them can't drive for ****. The irony is all these turbo AWD Subarus, Audis and Mitsubishi Evos have so much stuff to break and wear out which it does and quite a bit quicker than our beefy cast-iron-everything tanks of the cold war.
I keep putting money in my Duster to keep it on the road because of the way it feels when I drive it, and because I know I can fix anything that could possibly leave me stranded with a small box of hand tools. The smells of uncatted exhaust and a carburetor, the sound of secondaries opening on a 4-bbl, the feel of that raw torque and throttle response through a car designed before Noise-Vibration-Harshness standards... tons of newer stuff on the road faster and more capable than my Duster, but they won't be around in 10 years.
