A lot of pressure is being put on us through the rising cost of living (food, fuel, housing, power, etc.) while wages remain the same or increase slightly, but not even close to the rate of inflation. So, from a buyer's perspective, given our available money doesn't go as far as it used to prior to 2020, it's definitely making it difficult, if not impossible, to buy that classic car we'd like. For those of us outside the USA, things are much harder, as shipping costs have also increased significantly, while the value of our currency keeps falling. You'd think that at some point car prices will come down when demand tanks, but by that stage many will have more pressing issues to deal with to even think about buying a car that will mostly sit in a shed and cost a small fortune to run and maintain. Many people are still doing alright financially, but only the very wealthy are able to ride out an economic collapse, which we are told it's inevitable, so eventually, the car hobby will be greatly affected. I don't wish to come across as a pessimist, it's just the reality of the situation.
