I know this site has a huge younger following and many will say I'm not seeing this clearly, but as always, your audience here are all car enthusiasts. That's why you come here. I do keep up with a few family and friends kids on FB and I can't recall any of them posting a picture of a car or their car in any way shape or form. A very low sample size mind you but it's just not what I see younger folks being into.

Have to agree.
I also think that along the way more than a few of your contemporaries and mine lost their enthusiasm. Forums such as this one are where you find out that not all of them did, even if you've never quite managed to meet any other members face to face.
But every so often (or maybe frequently) it's kind of fun to give these folks who either forgot or never had much clue about what enthusiasm is just a little glimpse of what it's all about. And later on, wonder if you'd managed to set the hook.
