True car people are becoming a thing of the past

When I ask guys that built some cool rides before why they are not active today, they will reply:
Been there, done it.
Found other hobbies, they like better or not as expensive.
Wife.
Projects are too sorry and too high.
Costs too much for the project, the parts, no friends that want to help.
Kids have NO interest and wife hates these cars.
Bought a modern Challenger. Smells better and faster.
Bought a 65 Mustang, half the costs and parts are 40% less.
Done cars are overpriced crap and put together by an idiot.
Tired.
Have to work more today just to pay the bills.
Don't have 10 years to build another like the one I sold like a fool!
My parakeet died.
