Thank you. Sometimes cars look best this way.

that has an amazingly clean windshield considering the condition of the metal ... are you sure this isn't somebody's daily driver?
I've seen worse being driven (on purpose) ... there are a surprisingly high number of owners of "decaying cars" that keep them in incredible mechanical condition and make sure they are safe, complete, reliable and always drivable - but that still have the appearance of a vehicle that has been rotting in a salvage yard for 20+ years ... I guess it's a newer way to 'customize' a vehicle and is supposed to make some kind of a point, although I don't know what the point would be ... maybe to save soap?
seriously, it's a real thing ... there are a LOT of people that either do this to their own cars appearance, or that find a car that's already in this condition and then completely rebuild all of the mechanical aspects, but leave all of the cosmetic stuff alone (or make it worse than it already was)
in a way, I think this looks better than the kids that put 20" tires that stick out a foot from the sides, and a 40" rear spoiler on a honda civic (to keep the rear wheels planted on the ground for traction when they are driving the 72MPH top speed of that car, even though it's a front wheel drive vehicle)

Now there is an idea, the ultimate sleeper. Rusted through body, 500 HP engine. Sadly, this one is not such a case. Ju after a relic after a rainstorm.
Thanks for the fav!

Great angle and capture of the neglect.
I'm a car guy, and this just breaks my heart!

On one hand it breaks my heart, but on the other hand there is a sort of beauty in it. I am not sure, but I talked o a couple people in the area and they told me that that car has not moved in 10 years. The owner leaves it parked right there, never moving it. It has become a sort of New Orleans fixture. I showed the photo to another friend who lives on the other side of New Orleans and he immediately recognized it and could tell me right where it was. There is a kind of beauty in that.

i agree with that, and i love the effects and ravages of time on any object, just becuase it is something you just can't fake......still, i see a car like that, and think of what i could do with her.

Did you read my journal entry "What I've Learned?" I make a direct referrence to Firefly and The Simple Life...........I wonder if they will film her in jail?

Not sure if they will take it that far, but I would love to see them go back and give firefly another shot. Was a shame to see "Drive" canceled too.

It is a nice car, but I'm not sure if anyone knows ho the owner really is anymore. It has become sort of a New Orleans fixture.
