Funny thread. I'm 33 and I bought a Grand Prix a few weeks ago. I've always wanted a G body but for one reason or another never could make it work. I remember the G bodies as a kid in the late 80's and 90's as being mod'd muscle cars, turned into low riders, chopped into circle track cars or just old people drivers. I specifically wanted the GP, thought it looked the best. My parents had an 86 or 87 GP, but it was not even close to being the packaged I like, but even as a kid I thought the GP and Old's versions looked the best out of the G bodies. Yes, I was hooked on cars at a VERY young age. A girl-friend of mine in high school had a G body SS Monte with the 5.0. My other friends had LT or LS1 F bodies. I had a L98 TPI Vette from the late 80's. We all lived and breathed cars. I don't see that kind of interest in cars from younger people. There is a big following of car enthusiasts, but the young kids today are not into them like I was for sure. I think it's due to multi reasons. 1- Cars have gotten more expensive. It's not reasonable to expect parents to put kids into 30+yr old cars. A 2010 or 2012 SS Camaro or GT mustang is not a cheap car even today. Working part time at MdD's as a kid is not going to come close to supporting a 2010 SS or GT. 2- younger kids are not as hands-on mechanical, they just want phones and gadgets and they're not going to fix these cars, dad is going to pay for the repairs and mods. 3- The economy since the 2006/2007 crash was brutal on a lot of families and people including myself who entered the work force in 2006, into the construction business of all fields. 4- The selection of cars today's kids parents could have bought 8-12yrs ago which the kids would be driving now are junk. The import Honda wave we saw circa 2000 came from a bunch of middle age people buying new import cars for their families in the late 80's and 90's. When those cars hit 10+yrs old, Jr got the hand me down car and put a fart can on it. I don't even see the import ricer cars around town like I did 10-15yrs ago.... that fad wore out. In 2006, 10yrs ago what were today's 16yr old kid's parents buying? On the brink of the worst economic crash in modern history. Camrys, Accords, crap cars. GM quit making the Camaro in 2002 and started back in what, 2010? Those 2010 Camaros still have payments on them and mom/dad are driving them for another few years in a lot of situations. Schools have gotten rid of any form of shop class and look down on anyone that is a skilled person with their hands. Not a good situation for car collectors. Plus someone mentioned motorcycles... again, those are cheap and easy to insure/store/maintain and they can still have a 2nd car for DD; like an Accord. And let's not forget the brainwashing these kids have received all the way through college. They think cash for clunkers was a great idea and a lot of these kids probably want to see our Muscle cars crushed and us driving a Prius. Makes you wonder if the people who have the time and means should help get involved in the community with young kids to do car shows or something.
