Nice piece, Dave.
While it is true that most of the car owners at all the car meets I have attended here are 'mature', I have seen plenty of young (25-40) classic car owners.
On our street we have three classic car owners - two are younger and one is ancient and mental.
I am a would-be classic car owner, but am very ancient - 81. I never wanted such a car when I was young, I wanted a horse, but once I got into my 40s - z classic car was my ambition. Trouble is garden tools and lawnmowers do not work well with ragtop corvettes.;-(
