So Sad

I didn’t know if this should go in the

Cars section or not, but since it applies to old and classic cars, something I very

much am into, I put it here.

I have to pass an old car “graveyard” every day on the way to

work, out in the middle of nowhere. It’s full of old cars, many from the '40’s, '50’s, and '60’s, sitting

out in a field next to a state park, just rusting away. Right out at the highway, next to a '69 Pontiac

GTO(which must have been the apple of some young man’s eye in its prime), is a dark blue '51 Hudson Hornet,

just like “Doc” in the movie. The body of the car is still in good shape, no dents, no rusted-out

spots, though the seats and interior are ripped up and rotted and the windows are cracked(not shattered all the

way through-it was nearly impossible to break to break the thick glass on those old cars, especially those

designed to be “muscle cars” for drag racing), but that unmistable chrome grill is still intact.

Seeing those old cars makes me wish I had unlimited finances, like Buddy Pine, only instead of creating new

things, I’d give new life to old ones, and have those old guys restored back to their former

glory.

Aww :frowning: It’s

always a shame to see a bunch of old memories rust away. It’s things like this that make me didpise my own kind-

myself included :confused:

It’s funny how some things make me appreciate other things

more. I never paid much attention to cars I passed by on the road, but ever since Cars, I’m starting to notice

the ones that I normally wouldn’t, just like my mom.

There’s a rusty pickup truck my mom wanted to point

out to me one time while driving near my home. She told me it reminded her of Mater. I’ll bet that car

would’ve never caught her eye beforehand, but Cars stuck out in her mind.

And it was such a coincidence

that a little while after Cars was released, there was that annual car show they always have in my area. I was

seeing old cars left and right, and they all looked brand spanking new. And sometimes I’d be like, That one was

Ramone!, or, OMG, I swear that was Doc!

And everyday I come home from work, I pass this yellow Snotrod

lookalike, except it’s engine is also painted yellow.

It IS sad to see junky

cars, because you know that someone out there would have a ball making them like new

again.

Oh

wow. Would you be able to take pictures of that car graveyard? I would love to see those cars.

It’s the whole “People move on” lesson . . .

which Toy Story did so well when it came to inanimate objects. It is intriguing to imagine if

Cars had humans . . . it would have most definitely have come to this lesson,

IMO.

It’s also very “Brave Little Toaster” as well.

Is it possible for pics of this faithful Hudson.

I wish I had time to get a pic, but unfortunately, I pass these old cars on the

way to my first school(I work at two-the first is a forty-minute drive away-then drive from that one to the next,

a 30 minute drive), and I have morning duty every day, so I’m really pushed for time. Any earlier and it would

still be dark when I pass by the junkyard. I go home by a totally different route, since after I leave the first

school, I have just 30 minutes between my last class ending at the first, and my first class starting at the

next, and the two schools are a half-hour apart.
