So what? Serious people WILL make or mod whatever we wish and the non-serious don't matter. Where demand exists it will eventually be filled. Industry churn is not an enthusiast problem. If the industry got swallowed by the earth local gearheads would do what they've done since the gow job days before WWII, make parts for themselves and if demand warrants make more for sale.

The background doesn't much matter to end users who have zero influence, but the liquidating companies can indirectly put equipment and materials of all sorts in your hands to equip your personal or business shop. Be alert for local liquidation sales during the selloff. They're a great way to outfit your personal shop with industrial equipment. When the economy gets soft and companies downsize or close their equipment and stock are liquidated and the firms who do that post online via auction services. Many items in industrial auctions are well worth snagging including misc heavy steel sections, racking, custom carts locally fabbled from standard stock (making them easy to mod for whatever you want), machinery, tooling, forklifts, cranes, other material handling equipment useful to any mechanic, sand blasters, lathes, mills, welders, etc. It's a feast more gearheads should know about. Companies rise and fall but their stuff remains for the picking. Self and bro outfitted our home machine/welding shops via auctions and liquidations for couch money. So can you.

End automobile safety standards other than those which affect OTHER drivers, for example dual master cylinder brake requirements. All the weight and bloat is due to government forcing choices users did not ask for.
