True car people are becoming a thing of the past

I've thought about building a sim rig, it's very tempting. I always think about being able to put the money into my Duster though and I live about 2-3 hours from Road Atlanta which is one of my "dream tracks" to drive on.

For your second point, thankfully we have guys like Freiburger and Dulcich to offset that kind of gatekeeping ******** mentality. If they never did the whole Roadkill thing there would be FAR less young people getting into the hobby. I'm 32 and got my Duster when I was 16 before that show existed but it was a huge motivator for me to build my car the way I like, not to please the purist old-timers.

Wow are you me lol? 32 and got the Cuda when I was 16 too. I honestly loved Roadkill until they took it off YouTube. It took me a while but thankfully my dad was supportive of me building the car I wanted and I changed his mind on a few things like wheel sizes and fuel injection. Ive also been to cars and coffee a couple times and it's a huge mix of cars and ages. Honestly old 60s cars are cool but there's so much awesome stuff out there that people are doing with every thing from 80s jap hatchbacks, and miatas to newer fiestas and mustangs that to limit yourself to one era and car style is kind of silly. I'm lucky enough to live only an hour away from Road America. Between forza 3, assetto corsa, and my Buell I probably have 5,000 miles on it lol
