This isn't for me, as much as it's for one of my dear friends...
We got into a little 'discussion' yesterday about what it takes to be a Camaro or Mustang Enthusiast.
He also believed the recent Mustangs have all but destroyed the Mustang enthusiast, and the "cool car" factor about the cars as well. His reasoning was that they were "too affordable", so punk kids can get their hands on them too easily, and that has ruined the car, because they don't know what the car does, or how it works etc, etc. Basically - he felt there should be a lot more exclusivity to Pony Cars than there currently is.
Naturally, I argued with him, telling him that the whole point to these cars was to sell to the masses. That the cars evoke a passion that is difficult to explain. It's something that goes beyond knowing what a crankshaft is, or how AFM works. I told him that the cars actually "make" the enthusiast, they create the spark in these 'punk kids' that eventually turns most of them into grease-monkey's later on in life....
He wouldn't buy it. So here's a thread I'm going to show him, I want to ask the
enthusiast community what
they believe it takes to be an Enthusiast. So please take the poll, and then add more detailed comments in a post, if you would.
