Yeah, we had our share of kids a few years ago who could scrape together
enough cash to buy the car, but had no $$$ left over for maintenance. I
believe that they have migrated to the Forum, Delphi, and TCCA lists!!

As I have been telling folks for a few years now, the average age of
Convention attendees is maybe 10 years older than the lists, and many people
are not on any of the lists. Last year was probably the lowest average age
for a Convention, with a bunch of the Forum folks there. That's fine, as I
believe the average age of the owners will again be slowly creeping up over
time as the cost of keeping SHOs running is going to keep getting more and
more pricey.

I find that the list is becoming more enjoyable now that 
it was 3-4 years ago.  I first joined the list in '98 and 
asked my fair share of redundant questions (like "where is 
the intake silencer?" :).  Now I rarely ever post, but I 
read SHOtimes just about every day.  I think the people 
left here are the ones who are going to have a SHO in 
their garage for years to come.
