“And get off my lawn! Those Pokémon you’re chasing ain’t real!”
I agree with what you wrote. I just got a letter that Car Craft and Street Rodder are dead! And instead of extending my Hot Rod subscription, they are giving a trial to Motor trend online. (And maybe a subscription to a 4x4 or wine and cheese car magazine, nether of which I want.)
I think the computerized new cars were more than most shade tree mechanics understood, so the kids have never worked on a car with Dad (or Mom). So the ability and interest to use tools was not passed on.

and when we were kids, you couldnt wait to get that permit, then the license. Many of us were working on cars before we were old enough to drive. Sadly, that is far from the case with the younger generation now. Not only foxbody’s...... they just don’t care about cars any more, period!
