I saw it on my way home from packing back packs of food that go to children who can't afford to eat. EDIT: Is the picture working? Nibbles isn't liking my computer.

I spent a lot of my youth in Novas like that one, except with engines. I never owned one but I had multiple friends that did. They can be a lot of fun.

A commercial flagpole with American flag in front lawn?
'Murica!

Good job with the community service, but you need to get going on saving this Nova already. Come on, now—let's get our do-gooding priorities straight on this damned site!

There was rust EVERYWHERE! Not a single body panel was rust free. Thre roof was rusting out, the hood was rusty, every inch of the fender was extremely cancerous, etc. It was too far gone to be worth saving.

Damn. I guess that is typical with cars like this. I was just kidding with you, though. Community service is much more important, and it wouldn't be worthwhile to restore a Nova when you have a Trans Am—mint ones are cheap, even. It's always interesting to see these classic cars in worse parts of town, too far gone yet with owners who are too attached to sell them before they are too far gone. Just out of curiosity, whereabouts is this?

That's a 71 or 72. It's worth saving as long as the subframe isn't drooping.

This seems like a really nice bad part of town. As in there's traditionally low-income type houses that are really well maintained

Lafayette, IN. It wasn't the worst part of town, but there were couches on lawns.

Yeah, it was not the worst part of town but there were couches on lawns.
