    But to answer your question I believe imports are here to stay. And the die hard fans will collect or store their favorite old school cars during their time and focus on keeping them original as possible.
    GOTCHA!!!!!!

    WHAT DO U MEAN THE JAPANESE ARE INTO IMPORTS? most japanese ppl drive domestics.

    they cant be an "import" if their country of origin, is the country they are driven in.

    what u jsut said is like calling a mustang an import car in america.

    That is a good question that you ask Casey. I don't really know the answer for that in my case. If my life goes as planned, I wouldn't have time for it. I will have a family and be a pyschotherapist. Just don't know right now. Too far ahead to tell
    THAT'S MY JAM!

    There will be those who will always have 'their' cars, and will keep them for a long time. You see most older car people with the cars they grew up with, old Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, GTO's, Challengers, etc. That's their car. I think we'll be the same way. Newer cars will come out. Though we may buy them for daily driving, but those who remain faithful to their 'growing-up' cars, will always have them. (And play with them.)

    I know I will.
    I agree completely. Trying to talk my dad into getting one of the cars from his youth so he can build it. But I know I'd probably stick with imports throughout. It really depends on the person though. There are some people that modify/build there cars because it's just something to do or whatever, but then there are people that do it because they have a passion, which is the category that I'd fall into. It's just something that is engraved in me.
