Well, crap! The majority of my 401k is invested in parachute pants stock.

The only thing you nailed is that a ZR-1 is a Corvette.
Ever meet a millennial? Meet lots of them? They hate Corvettes for the most part and love the Prius. They take Uber, Lyft and public transportation. They shun driving. They are busy texting while driving and don’t care about horsepower, speed, or handling.
The MMA has annihilated professional boxing. NASCAR is dying a slow death. The once invincible NFL is crumbling. Our great republic is being infiltrated by socialists thanks largely to millennials. TV sitcoms are gone. No one wants a black and white TV anymore and most people don’t want a car with a carburetor either. No one watches the Indy 500 anymore either. There’s no market for parachute pants either. Ford is only going to make two cars because everyone wants suvs and crossovers now. The car hobby is experiencing its last hurrah.
Legislators are doing all the can to remove our rights to drive ourselves and will likely succeed someday. Then there will be nothing to do but text while riding big delighting all the younger generations.
The dinosaurs thought they’d live forever too. A lot more than 30 years of history had them on top.
I’m also big time into airplanes and trains. No one today gives a crap about steam locomotives or old aircraft either. I fly RC airplanes. 30 years ago you had to build your airplane out of wood, it flew on nitromethane, and your radio was AM or FM. Now they are made out of foam in china, electric powered, and fly off 2.4 ghz spread spectrum radios.
But it’s a Corvette right? Captain Kirk was a womanizing tough guy who today would be imprisoned for being a toxic masculine sexual predator.
The world changes, even if you don’t. 30 years ago a lot of people said they’d never use computers too.... how’d that work out?
Today’s kids are going to want a Prius or a Scion FR-S or maybe a WRX. They’ll have as much desire for my ZR-1 as I do for a Model A.
