There are just too many reasons to list:

- Parents that take care of their children too well
- technology-based communication replacing in-person socialization
- too many other distractions / things to do to take up their time
- cost of car ownership
- widespread adoption of UPass

The fact is, kids these days aren't nearly as into cars as we were back then. It also doesn't help that the majority of cars today are absolutely boring to drive, and even more boring (or even ugly) to look at.
