f'ing kids these days, got no respect.
I'm glad my 11 year old brother doing good. He loves our old cars, and begs to go for rides anytime we go somewhere. I try to take him to the track and shows every chance I get.
Wish I had the time getting him wrenching with me whenever I work on the car.

This is sad. Too many kids nowadays are only interested in the ricers with whale tail spoilers, 1000 lbs worth of ground effects, and a 5,000 watt stereo system. Not saying that's the case with your kid but just in general.
I understand where you guys are coming from though. I spend half the week getting my car polished up for a show or cruise, getting it looking super good only to have some dude in a Camaro or Mustang pull in beside me. He could have faded paint, rusted wheels, a filthy engine compartment and a gutted interior yet everyone flocks to those cars because they are "cool". I even run into the same thing with g body montes and GNs. Those are the only g bodies that are considered to be "cool" while cutlasses are referred to as "grandpa's car" or "grocery getters".

I feel you on that one WIKD, it's the same thing in Dallas too. From the parts suppliers that only have parts listed for the monte's and GN's, to the magazines (Hot Rod, HP Chevy) that's always dropping 500+HP big and small blocks into them :evil: . (I think a magazine dedicated to Oldsmobile needs to be published*specifically the G-BODIES :wink: ) Of course you won't get a chance to see a new 2011/12 Olds on the streets anymore 😢 but I want to do more to my cutlass than putting Chevy/Buick/Pontiac parts on it!
I don't mind them being considered grandpa cars or anything else. That just means less people want them so they get sold for less. There are two that I have my eyes on in my town. 1 for $300 and 1 for $400, because nobody wants to buy them.

x2...sounds like there may be more to the story...there's a reason kids say stuff and us adults need to figure it out, not retaliate...after all he's just a kid

I could care less what the young crowd thinks. They haven't deciphered the *ss from the hole in the ground thing yet :lol:
