The car industry is evolving and so are the enthusiests . Back in the day when cars wouldn't run more than 10,000 miles without some type of maintenance you HAD to learn or you just didn't drive much . Today's cars go 100,000 miles on spark plugs ! The modern car guy/gal can be just as passionate as we are WITHOUT doing all their own wrenching but it's great if they take interest with the wrenching .
How is a 20 year old kid going to know what a carb is without one of us old codgers
teaching them ? Yeah they can Google it but that's not learning . You want to do something positive for our car society ? Find a youngster that has some interest in cars and mentor him/her . It will do both of you some good . As parents/grandparents/neighbors I believe that's the best way we can give back and keep the car culture alive .
