What I imagine posts on this board will be like 30 years in the future

"I found a MINT Aztek with the rare pop up tent option in the next town over. How much should I offer for it?"

"I picked up this beige 1998 Camry last week in Atlanta. Should I swap out the 4 cylinder for a hydrogen drive or stick with a LS swap?"

"These new Jeep Canyoneros are just suburban mom-mobiles and will never off road like my 2015 Cherokee"

"Which solar powered car should I buy for track days? Miata?"

"I think the auto pilot system on the BMW offers better simulated driver feedback than the one Mercedes is using"

So what your saying is that it will be EXACTLY THE SAME...

The Scion FR-S was only made for 4 years and eliminated for slow sales (ala MR2 Spyder.) They are now rare since they pretty much signaled the last of the good Toyotas before everything went Hybrid and CVT.

Sad but likely true.

Jeepers I did not think of that I will be just a couple ticks under 80 years old. Wait I bet by then this will be the new early retirement age and you can not collect SS until you are 100

For those of you who have any reasonable chance of seeing any of that money, sure.
(I don't expect to see a cent back)

I'll be ten years into my robot body in thirty years. Should be fun.

The same crowd will still be on here.

Curmudgeon will be a Superfantabulious Dork with a post count of 6.5 million.

We'll still have the same old cars in the garage but they will be on the 15th engine swap.

There will be some swoopy new fangled car out that the manufactures will have built wrong. We still won't buy it because we don't buy new cars.

Some of us will be building new battery packs for our DDs. They will have twice the capacity and only some of them will burst into flames.

Rather than picking out new pistons, we be discussing what size wire we are going to use in the motor we are rewinding.

Political threads will still be banned and Mrs. Suddard will have paved all of South Florida in concrete.
