The only time my car has ever been in a "ditch" is when I'm on the track. Never on the street. The younger (my) generation doesn't seem to understand the whole sense of how to actually take care of truly maintain a performance vehicle, and all the blood/sweat/tears that are involved with the process. They see up front value, and then never touch it again. Makes me incredibly sad to see how many of these cars have ended up in such careless hands..

You could say this about a lot of cool cars from the 80's/90's. So many MR-2's, RX-7's, 300ZX's, ect have died at the hands of the attitude you talk about. All of them will be hard to find in any sort of decent shape on 20 years.

Also, I'm 32 now, jesus, im not a kid anymore! when did that happen?
