One of the simply amazing things about the Internet is the ability to connect people with similar interests or hobbies. You may like lime green Dodge Neon cars, with after market exhaust systems and Kenwood stereos and chances are you can find the (2 ... JK) other people in the universe that like the same. If you have a popular interest like Elvis Presley photos, you will be able to find millions of web pages that can grab your interest. So, it really doesn't matter where on earth you live, or what you are interested in, you can connect with like-minded individuals.
There was a time when hunting for vintage car parts could take years or even decades. A person could dedicate hours on every road trip to stopping in small town garages, or farmers' fields, or collector's swap meets to find the part they needed. Now, all you do is click a few times on Google, and there you are.... parts for your AMC Gremlin.
My tastes, though more refined (just kidding. I am a jokester today!!) include 1949 Chevrolet trucks and 1962 Corvettes. Seems any time I wish to indulge in daydreaming I can sit down in my comfy computer chair and view the most beautiful cars/trucks on the web. But am I missing out? Am I missing out on the great stories or the treasure hunts and mysteries of chasing the elusive car, or parts for the elusive car? Do things now-a-days just come too easy? What ever happened to the thrill of the chase?
