I recall when neighborhood garage doors in half the neighborhood were open until midnight, with mostly young people working on their cars. The car was everything....Nowadays, most young people in their 20's prefer skateboards and the only people buying these expensive car appliances are old guys in their 70s and 80s because they're the only people who can afford them. For the most part, young people today have little or no interest in cars. It's very different today, whether you admit it or not.

They weren’t modding, just trying to keep them running!

Non Sequitur
“It’s very different today, whether you admit it or not.”
Yes it is! You can buy a low mileage Mustang for $20k that will blow the doors off the supercars of yore.
Then mod it to your hearts content!
“You go ahead and try to convince me this is like the car culture of decades gone by. lol...’
That was not the point of discussion. We were discussing the aftermarket mods.
