Yeah, I know this is automotive related, but it probably gets a bigger audience here....

This is an amazing assembly of old (rusted and useless) vehicles that make an interesting landscape.

On one hand I really hate seeing such valuable and potential restoration projects rusting away. I'd think them being brought back to a useful life would serve the previous owners quite well.

Thanks for sharing that article!

I've driven by it numerous times in the last 50 years. They've been flooded by salt-water due to hurricane storm surge several times. Not sure there's much left to salvage.

And the last time I drove by there the area was overgrown to the point that they weren't visible.

Wow---so sad in a way BUT I'm waxing nostalgic, just personally hate seeing something potentially nice go to waste like that. Could be they're all beyond salvaging.
