Is this hobby dying in the US?

Still here, just took a hiatus. Wanted to wrenchbon dads old jeep and this was a good year for it.

As for the us vs Europe - population density. The shear distance between like minded people.
Another thing is cultural, Europeans IMO have a heratige of investing for the long term. Like buying a car that lasts a lifetime. Whereas here in the US we change cars every 3 years because we just want. Therefore we don't save and afford expensive things.

I was told, in some countries autos are shared amongst several families like time share.
