Although it is thought provoking, I don't think we need to be overly
concerned. When I was young, I did not have the interest in history or
vehicles that I do now. Girls, weekends, and the occasional libation
dominated my thoughts back then and I would dare say that holds true for
most on the list. Hopefully as they develop their interests, and their
careers allow for some disposable income (or "investment" income as I tell
my wife...) they will begin to develop an appreciation for history and the
role these vehicles played.
