Great article again Jack! I'm not 40 yet, but have seen this happen so often. I have always told my friends that you have to appreciate every car even if it's not something you would personally own or build, as I've seen younger people gate keep as well. I dont like Hondas with loud exhaust but nothing else, but I do appreciate the many Civics that have been made unique by their owners. Keep the door open, let people see your car, let kids sit in your car, and at the end of the day, encourage the enthusiasm! In my late teens and early 20s I had a couple of Fox body Mustangs and an Eagle Talon TSi AWD ifykyk, no sooner would I start talking cars with someone 40+ than they would start talking about how much better the 60s were and big blocks and on and on... even though my reasonably modified cars would lay waste to their old cars, they just couldn't hear of it. Let down the ladders and open the gates or we're all done for!
