I sort of left because of the age gap. kind of. The older I get, the more into my generations cars I get. Stuff like the hemi Chargers, Chevy Commodores, maybe a lexus sc 300, C6 corvettes, vipers, toyota Century, kei trucks, etc just the newer cars. I do like the older stuff but I'm not a rebuilder, I'm a modifier. There's a difference. My dad is a rebuilder, he used to strip cars down to the frame and rebuild them back up. I learned how to do that but honestly I don't really have the desire to go that far into a car. My barracuda is the exception, but my next project fun car will be something that runs well that I can just take off the road for a few weekends, change what I want, then drive it again. I prefer driving my vehicles over working on them. I absolutely know how to, just don't feel like it. And since literally every car that's older than me is going to have some semblance of rebuilding I'm kind of over it. The other reason is this forum skews pretty much on the older side. There's nothing wrong with that being that most people here grew up with these cars, I just don't find a majority of the topics in the off topic section interesting because almost none of them apply to me. So I come back and lurk every now and again. I'm trying to get my other motorcycle up and running again for cheap, then get started on getting the barracuda back on the road.
