MW Old school people, where are you?

I'm not so sure you want Unit 5302 back. My Mustang knowlege is waning quickly as I haven't been paying much attention to the aftermarket and what not as other things are taking over in the world of importance.

Times have changed out there, and so have I. I no longer see the comraderie or even tolerance that I used to between car enthusiasts. Seems like so much is import vs domestic, neither side knowing anything about the other, a lot of uninformed trash talking, and people down on each others rides instead of looking at all the effort they're putting into them.

Traffic is insane, and crack downs on enthusiastic driving has gotten out of control because of the younger generation pulling too much fast and furious on the highways. So hard to have fun out there now, certainly hard to have fun safely. No more friendly races, it's just too dangerous in bumper to bumper all the time. The tracks are being eaten up and pushed further out, it'd still cost me a full day of driving and $100+ to run a 1/4 mile.

The car hobby just isn't worth it to me anymore.
