1-in-5 Youngsters Dig Muscle Cars

Results of a survey of magazine readers compiled by SEMA are in, and showing that 1-in-5 fans of hot rods, customs, and muscle cars are in their teens and twenties. The automotive lifestyle survey was sent to readers of Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Popular Hot Rodding, and Rod & Custom along with other Primedia titles. 19.7% of the 16-24 year olds surveyed were interested in muscle cars, 21% in street rods, and 20% in restored vehicles. As Primedia doesn't yet publish Eighties Rustbucket magazine, we can only assume the 20% are busy restoring Merkur Xr4ti's and Dodge Colt turbos. [Complete SEMA Survey Results via SEMA.org]

Best Little Car Show In Vegas: Viva Las Vegas 10

It was the latest in a decade's worth of rockabilly/hotrod that's gone, daddy. Check out Curtis's photo gallery and wish your pompadour was tight enough and your chick chick enough to have attended in the flesh. – Mike Spinelli More »

Latest by VegasKid: But then no one expects anything tame or sensible to come out of Sin City. Ugh - another clueless Vegas bash. Of the 400+ cars in attendance, only a handful were from Las Vegas. Talk about discontinuity. more »
