The engine and tranny are great. But the other parts are getting damn near impossible to find and the old experts have either moved on or are damn close to moving on. I will drive mine until it becomes undrivable and then tow it to a junk yard. I may have it crushed out of spite. I hope a cash for clunkers happens again, soon.

OUCH! Sounds like I ripped off a very painful band aid.
Heck, I leave this place for a few years and look what happens.
"The community is dead. The car is dead." Gosh...I hope not. I think, as you've pointed out "millennials" are the "new guard, " and, as such, have simply been drawn to their version of "community" i.e. facebook, twitter, instagram, et al. And, I know for a fact, many of them still refer to this site as the "be all and end all" of SVX wisdom. As I've logged on over the past few days, I've noticed that there will be HUNDREDS of "guests" viewing the site, but few members. Of course, I can still remember when "members" could be numbered with the fingers on one hand.
So....I reckon....where there's a will, there's a way. Perhaps, if we work in concert with the active "other" places SVXers hang out, we could generate some enthusiasm. I know time is now short, but... stranger things have happened.
