Then in the early 90's music got good again, and Detroit started mixing things up - the Quad4 seems to have been a huge deal when it was released,

You sound like a pretty cool dude, but we are very far apart on these things!
I loves me some hair metal. I tuned out of music in the 90's because it so damn depressing. It was Emo, but with flannel instead of makeup.
The Quad4 was a step in the right direction, tho. My dad worked on that project during its development. I remember going to some sort of unveiling ceremony as a kid.
47 here. I also agree with some previous posters on the hobby. I play at the bottom end of the hobby. I like ratty cars that go fast, and I don't have to worry about a scratch or a dent. If I was given a super rare and valuable collectible car, I'd sell it for fat cash to buy me whole fleet of beater drivers. THAT is the 17 year old kid in me shining through.
I spent years playing in the hobby on a shoestring budget, balancing family and finances. Now that finances are better and kids grow up/move out, now I have to worry increasingly about retirement plans. It never ends!
