I’m bored, so here’s some marginally interesting cars from around my apartment complex (my last place was far more Jalop)

This rust moves under its own power:

Of course there’s tape:

MR-Tuesday:

Future classic or horrible beater? The random parts on the ground and smashed up decklid say the latter:

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: The world’s cleanest Plymouth Voyager:

It’s a refugee from the land of 10,000 lakes (though it’s been here far too long to not have Texas plates):

No Dent! Though NB: the rear bumper has been replaced:

This one is legit though:

Brown:  

Manual: 

Diesel: 

Wagon: 

Also probably abandoned?

This Nova Wagon (also sort of brown) hasn’t moved in the three years I’ve lived here, but someone does do a half-assed job of cleaning it, and airs up the tires about once a year:

Surprisingly fat looking tires on this El Camino:

We have a bunch of ambulances for whatever reason, though most of them are out during the day:

Remember Pontiac?

This Escort has been progressively losing its bumper. Two years ago it was mostly complete:

And in loving remembrance, this Mercedes truck that has since moved on:

Something is up with that voyager. It’s in way to nice of shape.

I want the Chevelle and especially that Nova wagon —

That pre-87 Voyager looks to be one of the better survivors. Most of the old ones were scrapped ages ago.

Seriously, it’s in amazing condition for a 30+ year-old car (or at least for one that isn’t a restored classic).

Long Voyager bait!

Oooh, I feel like doing this! But I probably can’t do it without getting shot, beat up, or something.

I did feel a bit creepy shooting these, but it’s the middle of the day, so not many people are around.

That poor Thunderbird (’96?)...

Some of it looks like they used a roller to paint it, while other parts look sprayed.

Yeah, I don’t the headrests are even missing, I don’t see any holes for them. I think it’s just an older, base model from a time when people cared less about safety.
