Rusted out hulks of cars make good photos, but it's sad that the car
usually died because someone wouldn't put a $5 tarp over it every 5 years (got
an MGB like that) or roll up a window (ditto MG 1100).
Every time I see my 1100's in my brother's back yard, I scrape away the
leaves that are trying to become dirt. The other '67 B has a new tonneau,
car cover, and tarp. It doesn't take much to save a car. But all of
my MG's will be here soon and I can take care of them the way they deserve as
soon as I find a shack with a 12 car garage that I can afford.

'67B still my only transportation
BTW, I was told that the MGB's that were destined for export to Hawaii
didn't have heaters.

Its kind of sad to see as many ruined cars as I saw runners, but
personally
I am intrigued by the visual poignancy of a rusted away car. Am
I alone in
this, or are others also drawn to the ruined hulks that were once
interesting cars, not seeing parts (gee, maybe I could still use that bit
of
trim) or a project, but simply a piece of once-functional art whose time
has
passed? Philosophical (or other) comments welcome.
