Correct. It has moved from a home hobby to an elite show. The number of young (ie poor) people doing tuning up their own cars is practically zero. The average young driver cannot change a tire, and I'd bet that half those under 30 have never even popped their hood let alone modded anything. Hotrodding is now all rich people "getting stuff done" by shops, always on their second or third car. The closest we see on the street is the occasional muffler mod, usually only installed as the cheaper option after the stock pipe has worn out.
