Yes! I, too, am fascinated by those rusted hulks of metal - preferably
in a country field, overgrown with shrubbery and hornets' nests. I'm
not sure what causes the attraction to these remnants of past motoring,
but I think it is akin to a treasure hunt - to see what's there, what it
is, and if any of it is still salvageable.
I think Hemmings puts out an annual calendar of abandoned, rusted
vehicle.
