Jrn101, I like your pics alot too. It's hard to save em all. I live in a subdivision and have to be careful what I bring home and have to be quick about stripping them... The pics are awesome though. Lots of the ones I see and get a pic of are destined for the crusher too. All the ones I submitted last week are about 15 minutes from a recycling center.... It's just a matter of time... I was talking to some guys in the area last week at a body shop and they were telling me that the thieves in the area are pulling wire from the center pivots in the fields and taking them to scrap as well as pulling it all out of grain bins. It is costing farmers thousands to replace it. At the junkyard last week the owner was telling me that thieves sneak in at night and steal his catalytic converters.... I can't stand a thief. As time goes on however, anything that isn't running or being watched closely will be hauled in for scrap... It's best to photograph the ones that can't be saved. Keep posting them, sometimes it's better than a sad country song... "dog died, wife left with best friend.... car got crushed... Sure miss the car and dog"....

iam pretty lucky where i live my neighbors are getting use to me after about 6 years.i shovel their snow in winter and it keeps them quiet all summer.like i said i try to save what i can and the owner of the yard i work at really dont cars much about cars so he dont save anything.his family owns 7 yards in wisconsin and the one i work ot is the smallest land wise but the busiest.we also have a big problem down here with theft of anything metal.a few weeks ago the cops caught 2 people with a huge spool of high power cable in the back of their truck stolen from the local power company.cat converters get stolen all the time.some can fetch as much as 275.00 or as low as 10.00.i also cant stand a thief but in the area i work the theives are all over.i will post more pics when i find the discs they are stored on.i have about 100 or so more pictures.i guess iam like DOG427435 except all his pictures awesome and mine are kind of sad to look at.but anyway thanks for taking the time to look at em......jason

Love your shots and appreciate the time you take to post them. Its amazing I don't know what it is
but something about looking at this old iron brings out memories and feelings I can't explain.
I guess its knowing how these cars started out and seeing how they have wound up - they are like
old friends who need help!
Hope you can find the rest, would love to see them.

I look at the photos and imagine the day the cars were driven off the new-car lot by excited new owners who took them home to show their families and friends. Now look at them! "To everything turn, turn, turn."
