Well, I guess My family is in the minority. I'm the third generation to farm our land with equipment that Grandpa bought. I value my equipment as priceless. My son and daughter in law have a great interest in the land. They have no desire to get "new" equipment. The financing and all would not be in their best interest.

Also I own a 1968 Chevelle SS396 that my son and I are going to finish restoring when he gets off active duty with the Army. (He wants the car, but it's mine until I'm pushing up daisy's).
In conclusion I think a lot of what the newer generation thinks about old iron may be because of the influence of the parents.
