History Social media as it relates to us: A two edged sword

The success of the HAMB is based on a common interest in a specific type of car and the ability to communicate via the internet and other social media. That's why I find this story interesting. Hopefully we can get some mature posts before it gets shut down.

Interesting read.I have noticed a number of young people posting with ques & interest here and Fordbarn,so all is not lost.

 

I think the public schools are brain washing the younger generation that cars are ruining the world and they are believing it,I am glad I was born when I was and really would liked to have grown up when my parents did. My girlfriends oldest son is 21 and still has not learned to drive and having a hard time getting hm interested in doing so,all he wants to do is play on the computer and sleep all day.

 

As a 23 year old bloke myself.. as much as i love the internet / technology and how i simply could not live without my Iphone 4.. Theres no way in hell i'd give up my Model A or other two cars.

If i had to have one or the other.. cars would be it for me.

Hope is definitely not lost after all!

 

Well lets see before we wanted a car to try to meet chicks, now they go on line to do it, score computers 1 - cars 0 , Do younger people talk with one another today face to face , no! computer wins again. I dont understand why you have a phone to type letters. Many of them are very book smart , but are happy working at a coffee shop where they get free internet ( damn computers again!!! ) and compare fit on their skinny jeans , facial hair growth results, and the latest band nobody has heard. Damn one day these kids are gonna be taking car of us????

On a bright note tonight while riding home on Telegraph (hot west side cruise spot from my era ) from a family night out I saw 2 cars ( mid 70's mustangs, dont kill me yet ) kids under 21 with 5.0 motors, dual exhaust, and 15" aluminum rims.......hell yeah!!!! not pre 64, but you could see they did it themselves and were proud as shit....... I gave em a thumbs up!!!!!!

OK this dickweed spends $500 for a rim for his $120 bike???????? I'm sorry but im gonna say it " how the F do you get laid on a bike"???? sorry! and WTF is a Blue man group? oh God help us!!!!!!!
