As a kid, the way we would interact with other kids was to get out of the house on the weekend and go to the local hangout. The kids in my town would make a circle from one end of town to the other end, round and round, all night. It was all about interacting with other kids without any adults around, it was about showing off your car, what you did to it over the last week and try to sneak in a burnout or two. It was face to face interactions, Mustang VS Camaro drag races, that kind of thing. It was all about the car, to be seen in a cool car.

There is no more endless circling in Jackson on a Saturday night. Technology has changed that. Now it's all online hangouts. So, yeah, as far as the younger generation goes, the car is no longer a means to go see friends, but is just a tool to go to point A from point B.
