You better keep a close ear to the ground to what your kids, and grandchildren are saying when they come home from school. You will be amazed.
Tell me how are you going to change that mindset when it is so entrenched in the world we live in today ????

I think that while those societal factors play a part, I was referring to the elitist, closed off attitudes that many hobbyists display toward cars not in their area of interest. That is what is turning would-be Pontiac guys away and keeping them in Hondas or whatever they are driving.
