The stereo stuff will not die, that is a sub ciulture most of us will never know. I got some exposure to it in the last couple years, those guys are nuts with their money. There is too much money out there in the gang banger, athlete (sometimes one and the same), drug dealers and the likes.

I HOPE the fiberglass engine covers go away, tommorow would not be to soon.

Autographed cars and parts. It seems everyone has Foose, Boyd, Shelby, whomever sign their car, even if they did not build it? For the life of me I cannot understand why someone would let anyone touch their car with a sharpie. What does it mean anyway? Look everyone, Chip Foose was close enough to my car to write on it? WOW!
Frank,
I agree on all points, especially the stereo one. It's kind of like rap music. I told myself in the very early eighties that it would be gone soon (like disco) , but have grudgingly come to the realization that it has a strong enough following to keep it alive way past expectancy. My 18 year old and his "boys" still love it today. However, if we really look forward 20 years, and Scott's quasi-joke about Hydrogen cell power comes to realization; I really don't want to look into an engine compartment of a vintage car and see that crap. In this case, a cosmetic cover will be just fine with me.
