It will not happen in one year, rather a few consecutive years of doing things the wrong way which the results of which we are all seeing now. These cars are over 20 years old. There are a handful of people servicing them. People lose interest. People get older. People move on. To succeed a long term club using those variables you _really_ need to have a strong foundation of a club, making all the right moves, liked by all. We all know it's far from any of that. It ain't the gas prices.
