Thread: Distant future of hotrodding

Tweet

Hey when we were kids everyone had a gas guzzling high performance v8 in there car. Muscle cars and hot rods were what it was all about. The generation of today are all about Fuel injection, small displacement, and computers in their rides. Chip burning is their language now. The move away from what we know and think of as hot rods will only be seen in museums in the not too distant future. Unless we can get our hands around this world view that we are killing the planet I dont think there is much of a future for hot rods. They have been trying very hard for about the last 30 years to move us into the corner. Doubt if I see it but the big Checkmate is closer than many of us realize. Wish I was wrong but Ive watched the government all but eliminate the off road industry. They have closed everything down as far as land use to the point that the few areas left are over ran with off roaders. When you dictate a small piece of property for a bunch of users it only a matter of time before the Eco Nazis point out what is happening to the environment, it then gets shut down or so regulated its not worth the effort. That is how the Hot Rod Industry is going to be swallowed up in my opinion. Enjoy it as much as possible and document how the free used to live because our grand kids will only read in disbelief amazement. Of course I don't have any real opinion on the matter! LOL Just my view from So Cal.
