There are a few of us younger folks who understand the value of a
coach like this. I won't admit my embarrassingly young age, but let's
just say that some of the guys on the forum here are old enough to be
my grandfather. Ernie's met me, take a wild guess at my age and
subtract a few years because you'll peg me older than I am. (Just
don't guess at my wife's age. I know she doesn't look a day over 19,
but she's actually older than I am.)

I'm seeing a lot of promise in the younger generation. We always hear
about how bad kids are these days, but it's not so clear cut. I was
involved with the DeLorean community for a few years and we're seeing
an awful lot of demand for the cars by younger guys who grew up on
Back to the Future and are just getting old enough to swing it
financially. They're buying, restoring and babying these old cars and
they appreciate the value in them. I sold mine to a guy in his
twenties. So, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a renewed surge in
BB interest by the younger guys over the next 10 to 20 years. Everyone
I've shown mine to loves it.

Yup. We stayed at a campground last weekend in a sea of SOBs. Darn
near every other RVer we drove past on our way in literally stopped
what they were doing and stared. Got plenty of nice comments from
people. Every time I take this coach on the freeway for any length of
time, I get truckers calling in praise on the CB. Had myself a half
hour conversation about the coach with a guy Sunday going the same
direction and would have been longer had I not outran the transmission
power of our radios. Tell me that happens with an SOB...
