Cracks me up that a guy with a huge shop with a lift, several corvettes, a porsche, several vintage race cars, and an airplane hanging in the rafters is complaining about "rich guys" ruining the hobby! His stuff that I can see in the picture alone is worth more than my house.

Yeah, price inflation sucks and it definitely deters some people from getting involved in the hobby. But "rich guys" also are the ones who keep lots of resto shops, fabricators, paint and body guys, engine guys, upholsterers, etc. in a job restoring cars. You want to play you got to pay--it has always been that way and always will be.
