Maryland National Bank offered10 year financing in the late 70’s saw a deal for Cobra for $20,000, would have been 10 years at $200 per month. Wife decided having kids was more important, she was wrong as none of our kids like cars
... even when they were little?
Our - now adult - kids have little interest at this point as well, they are all big city dwellers. But back in the day - they used to argue over who got to go with me to the autocross or car shows (since only one passenger spot).
Kids do not care when they see all the "care" that goes into a car. Another problem, manual trans. I wonder if you bought a 2021 toyota and took care of it, if one's kids would care about it in 30 years? (we know it would be around and driving)....
When did this all start, with kids not giving a crap about cars?
I think 2 reasons. Barret Jackson, the year 55-57 T-Birds were going for 175K, 70 Boss 302's were going for 200K, when 67 shelby's were going for 300K, and these kids saw the parents smiling at the thought of their car's value.
AND
the comeback of the newer Shelby's....(buy it, beat it, put it away wet, destroy it, put it in the garbage and buy another one to beat)
