I am 29 and I grew up as ricers were gaining popularity and fat exausts. I appreciate some of them but I also grew up with a '69 camaro in the garage. My real dad driving a '70 3/4 ton 4x and my grandfather (who owned a 39 ford until he was diagnosed with cancer when I was 15) owned his own auto parts store that I would play hookie from school so I could hang there all day.
Guess what I am trying to say is that age has nothing to do with it.
