Somewhere in Virginia, Rachel's Dad loved cars, and when he died, his cars were left without anyone that gave a damn. They've been sitting, waiting, ever since then, while the brush and trees grew.
It's nice that someone will be able to enjoy these cars, instead of them sitting there longer and rusting away. The tow truck driver did a great job of getting the cars out.
The person that bought them will be the first to enjoy, since he will just flip them for a massive profit.
I have a couple of old cars that wont ever be worth much, but they will rust into the ground before a flipper gets them. remember the Wayne Carini guy, talked someone into selling their Stutz Bearcat to him for $38K , he convinced the owner thats all it was worth, The thief Carini promptly flipped it for a cool half a million dollars. Anyone who owns a old car thats gonna get flipped over and over , should require a percentage of the sale price in perpetuity , like a real estate sales commission on the same house, over and over,
I posted that Carini Stutz scam https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/08/how-much-does-high-bidder-think-wayne.html I completely agree, and some in the art world are making that a thing, where the artist or their estate gets a piece of the outrageous resale price. Good for you, I feel the same way, and have been and will be on the lookout for the right way to donate my stuff, books, tools, R/T, etc so that they go where they will be enjoyed, not flipped. I think the books, blu rays, and similar things ought to be donated to a retirement village, so all the old people who like movies and books get them for an addition to their library. The tools to a boy scout troop or camp, for their projects and hopefully, old car maintenance classes. For pete's sake, I have a full roller, and two grab bags, one of battery powered stuff for projects, one of hand tools enough to do any regular around the home, or jobsite, type work, and then there's the Plumb socket set collection, and the Snap On socket sets I inherited, and Mac impact set, etc etc, you know what I mean? Since no one is going to make great socket sets anymore, these ought to be kept together, and given to a scout troop or something similar, so kids can get a start on using tools, without having to go into debt to buy a damn socket set not made of Chinesium at Harbor Freight.
