Legislation, a dying middle class and computers and virtual living (which is complete boring BS). It literally costs too much to be a car guy these days.
If I also add: BS Socialist commune beliefs : Living on top of one another and paying a lot for it and having nothing to show for it is 'cool' these days- like they did on the dumb show "Friends"
From the article:
They’re making less money,
they have access to less storage space,
they pay vastly more for insurance and registration.
The available pool of enthusiast-friendly cars, which teemed in my youth with everything from Plymouth Road Runners to five-speed Celicas, has dwindled to a creek trickle of overpriced used Miatas and Mustangs.
Toos cost more, as does labor. In some states, they have to pass smog and other vehicle inspections on a regular basis just to stay rolling.
To make matters worse, they no longer have a social infrastructure to support their hobby.
The cruise nights are gone.
Everybody’s at home with a screen.
