My nephew just graduated from Clemson with a degree in mechanical engineering. Very low student loan debt and no credit card or any other debt to speak of. Making over 70 grand a year not married no children. He is very interested in classic cars and muscle cars, always has been. When he graduated I figured a charger or Camaro would follow. NOPE a Mazda 6. I asked him why and got an answer about gas mileage. My youngest daughter is only 3 but she LOVES to be in the garage and “helping” me fix my car. That is a seed I hope I can nurture and make her into a gearhead. If it’s up to me she will have something very cool to drive in HS. My oldest daughter is fixing to be driving age and I hope I can steer her to a falcon or a 6 cylinder Chevy II or something like that but I doubt it. She’s eclectic and is self conscious and will want to fit in with the crowd. I will probably give her my wife’s car and get my wife something new. Hopefully a newer Denali. My Yukon has 356,000 miles on it I checked just the other day. Other than being dirty you’d never know. Since I am knee deep in this restoration I hope I can get a half a million miles out of it. We will see.
