Awesome to see the wide range in age's. I was definitely one of the few "kids" in my area with an old muscle car. I was lucky enough to have a father that did it as a hobby and passed the skills down to me. I was also lucky and smart to purchase a number matching 70 T/A for $2k at 15... I started working at 13, specifically saving up for a 70-73 T/A.
The barriers of entering the hobby for us younger people are huge, its definitely not cheap, like everyone else, daycare bills, mortgage etc...there isn't much left to use as play money.
I will say that when I attend an autocross or track day event I am surrounded by lots of young people....yes they may not be driving old muscle but that doesn't bother me, I have respect for any machinery, especially one that is getting the hell driven out of it!
