There may be some hope - I take my truck to a lot of car shows in the summer, and the young people that attend these events are super nice, know a bit about automobiles and want to learn more, plus they are very courteous and respectful.
I’ve read somewhere that (youth) car culture is dying because modern cars are computerized and you can’t tinker with them as easily as forty or fifty years ago. Plus, back in the day, popular culture was “pro-car” and fiddling with cars was seen as cool. Now, cars are stigmatized s an environmental threat, masculinity is demonized, and boys are playing video games and experimenting with their gender.
