Hi `Tadd,
I found your link pictures very sad

and the bad cars went to auto hell

I was surprised to see so many nice cars contained in your link (WoW) > Some people, no many people I just don't understand...

Thanks for your thread & adding to the activity on our MCF > Enjoyed > Thank You

Lots of cool cars in bad shape. The more exotics (like the Lambo's) surprised me....

The lambos suprised me too. But the super birds saddened me the most

It is sad to see that many beautiful cars in such a state of disrepair (for the average back yard mechanic) as for they shape they are in most people couldn't afford a frame of resto that they need. Quite a few of them deserve to be in museums, and from some of the other cars beside them it almost looks as if they were looked after at one point and the pics may be taken after some sort of event like a hurricane or some other type of mother nature's best damage. I read through the quotes at the bottom and it would seem there are a lot of people that would love to get their hands on any of them, esp the BMW M series with only 59 miles (like seriously?? only a collector would buy a car like that and only put on that many miles unless something happened to the car beyond control because if they were only going to purchase a car like that and only put that many miles on it, they would more than likely have a very nice place to store the car out of the element for a future trip to barrett jackson so they can recoup their investment and pocket any gains in value the car would have increased). I do know there are a few cars around my area that are parked in the grass under a tarp or car cover and they have been there since I first started driving and have never moved so it does happen everywhere
