Very valid point, the muscle car boom is a perfect example of this. When men grow older and have the money to get their dream car, those dreams often seem centered in their teenage years. As the boomers age the over-inflated muscle car market will crash, products of the '80s didn't lust over Chevelles and Camaros like they did. So the question - what did a guy that graduated high school in 1985 dream about? What did he have on his wall as a kid? THAT is what you should speculate on for a car, as it's probably cheap today.
