I live in the country and it's still like that to an extent here. Some guys have their old muscle cars, but most of them have 4X4's and take them out "muddin'" a couple times a month.
I remember growing up in a neighborhood where everyone seemed to spend the weekend working on their old cars and drinking cold beer. It really was a community thing. I guess people still do hang around the garage, but I don't see it as being a community thing anymore.

It just seems like the cars are only going to get more and more rare and will make it harder for newer and younger enthusiasts to get into the hobby. I mean, I don't think more modern cars will be as collectible or sought after as th classics and muscle cars.
As far as electric goes, I've not really checked them out. It's a weird thing, being in a car, accelerating, and not hearing any sort of rumble from the engine. Then again, I could definitely be down for an electric car that will drive me where ever I want to go, autonomously.

I was thinking more along the lines of going out and having a few beers without worrying about a designated driver.
It would be cool to have a car drive you for times like that, but no way it could ever replace the driving experience.

That Studebaker is a cool car. I didn't see any like it there, it must be pretty rare. I did see the redneck Studebaker truck. It's in the video in the first several minutes.
The Avanti's front end reminds me of one of those amphibious cars. It must be the closed grill. Thanks for the link, cool to see that car.
