Re: Big Wow, news from Ford??
Depressing are the plethora of stories like this one:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/boblutz/2012/07/06/why-generation-y-isnt-catching-car-fever/ and… http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/22/why-arent-younger-americans-driving-anymore/ and… http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_news/2012/1208_why_young_people_are_driving_less/ Equally noteworthy of the times is at “nhra.com” there is (or was) an ad from that vulgarian of vulgarians, Rich Christensen: Doing his best to promote more automotive pornography with some bit of nonsense called “Won & Done”. |

Related to a decline in automotive interest would be aeronautical. The trend there seems about the same:

There is more of a tendency today for people to be needy and dependent and risk-averse. That is not a good demographic for flight training or for flying.” It also doesn’t help when fathers teach their children about risk with lessons such as this: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/fi...ama-bike12.jpg I think I’m going to start drinking. Very, very heavily. |
