&gt; modding and racing culture is still there, but it&#x27;s moved on into pc building, make spaces and perhaps even open source contributions.<p>I don&#x27;t think so. Cars and computers&#x2F;programming are completely different interests. I&#x27;m into both but the enjoyment of cars isn&#x27;t really matched by anything else and I can&#x27;t see it being replaced. Neither would any of my friends who are into cars. There&#x27;s still a big thriving car culture out there, it&#x27;s just moved upscale a bit due to the other things you described like rising costs and reduction in time and space.
