Retro Cruisers [pics]

See, I still think there's room for this kind of thing even if the cars have gone up in value somewhat, the trouble is now that it seems to be it's no longer cool to do things on a budget to stand out but rather to stick to a formula and show off how much money you can spend keeping up with everyone else. In my admittedly small knowledge of what goes on outside of the RR bubble the monetary side of things doesn't seem to be the issue since there's no end of young drivers barely out of their teens that seem to have no problem in spending thousands on virtually brand new cars, then spending nearly as much again on air-ride systems, brand new wheels and interior re-trims. For the cost of what it takes to put a five year old Golf up to show standard, you could probably build two, maybe three unique rides (obviously depending on what you start out with) and stand out ten times more for a fraction of the cost. So yeah, while times change and in turn older and classic cars have become more sought after I think it's more the change in peoples attitudes that have seen this kind of thing disappear more than anything else.
