Most of the kids born around 2005 (many whose parents are X Geners) have a real fascination with anything 1980's. So there's that. Also, the 1980's was the coolest time to grow up in!!!

That is what I noted. They are about the 80’s like the 80’s kids like me were about the 60’s. We all wanted GTO’s and SS Chevys. Also they were affordable to us.
The Fiero is affordable but is some what related to the tuner cars of today too. I think that is how they see it.

Ironically it seems most people my age have a really hugh fascination with keeping old cars completely stock, I.E. replacing parts if OEM parts, restoring it to how it would be in the showroom floor. If you go up in age even 5-10 years, its all about tuning and customizing the cars. One if my friends even goes as far as having an genuine toyota oil filter for that purpose. Also this only applies for older cars, any car newer then 1995 has a wing and chambered out wheels thrown on it [This message has been edited by Xenoblast (edited 09-30-2021).]

Not sure what your age is but I see this but often it is regional. Often it just depends where you live as to trends.
Then also like the Radwood people they like stock or parts from the era. It is kind of like doing a hot rod in the *50’s’ style. While others may go modern and use all modern parts.
One thing that may play into this too is getting an all original car is cheaper and easier way to go. More up front money but cheaper in the long run. A lot of people bought and parked 80’s cars in hopes of owning the next big dollar car only to find they are not that rare.[This message has been edited by hyperv6 (edited 09-30-2021).]

Thats true. Im realizing now that here in florida now it seems there is less respect for cars and every car is straight piped, although I have yet to go to a car meet here so thats not really fair for me to say. Also I am 17[This message has been edited by Xenoblast (edited 09-30-2021).]
