And we are back, been a while since I’ve done one of these so lots of cars to post. Also, I had time before work and made graphs! See what cars have been most abandoned, the results probably wont surprise you.

I live an exciting life.

Quick reminder: I do not take these pics myself. They are found through an app where people can report issues throughout the city.

Now time for some epic graph action.

I did consolidate categories to make things less cluttered. F/E-series are included together, same thing with Chevy, Y/T/S stands for Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, they all kept their proper makes though. They also had to have a minimum of 5 cars to make the graphs.

By make:

By Model:

By Manufacturer:

As far as I can tell, this is how Caravans come from the factory. I’ve really never seen them look different.

Not sure if some of these aren’t abandoned as much as had their wheels stolen.

That is true, but I still lump them together.

Seems like it takes a picture to remind me that first-gen Luminas existed. Why are they so rare now? Were they really so shitty that they couldn’t last 20 years? I kinda liked them.

I don’t think it will fit the CX-7.

How fitting that most of them are from the American 3. So many bigoted Americans buying whatever crap is made from ‘Mericuh...to the death.

Sometimes I do, too. I really need to do something to it.

I have an open garage slot. With how rarely my roommate is there, we could swap the 20/22R out of his Celica into the TA without him noticing.

My guess was that they were stolen, driven off somewhere that the wheels could be removed at the theives’s leisure, and then abandoned.

Oh, no doubt. Stock wheels are worth major money.

lol, I have often wondered if some of these are reported as abandoned and are really just people’s everyday hooptie

I half considered a Sky Redline/Solstice GXP swap, just to be different... but it needs that V8 burble.

Does Detroit have more mediocre ‘90s domestic iron per capita than any other city? Seems to be a disproportionate percentage from that decade, as opposed to the ‘80s or ‘00s.
