Default economy impact on import scene?

does anyone else notice the scene isn't near what it used to be even 3yrs ago? 3yrs ago, in pa, i could have gone out any night of the week to it's respective location and there would be at least 15cars that showed up within an hour or so and almost every night there were a few stragglers still hanging out until the am. maybe i am just new in the area and don't the the right places to go, but since i moved to md, and back home too lately, the scene has just seemed to drop off. is this because of economy? lack of new parts? sudden rush of domestics in the market?...opinions?

Interesting theory, I think you can definitely gauge the strength of the American economy by the amount of cars that show up at Freedom Wash any given day of the week to hang.

Double LOL @ "sudden rush of domestics in the market"

@ lol... i know several who have gone for new charger, one to new challenger, shelby is back, camaro is coming with a lot of anticipation... i was not saying domestic are doing well, but from an enthusiast standpoint, the "enthusiasts domestic market" is coming back or hoping to anyways, with a lot of marketing...

I think quite a few left the scene because they got tired of having their shit stolen and being harassed by the police.
