Another Find

It's cool and all, but how is it "found" if it's in the owners garage?

It seems to be the common term of the times... I'm 100% guilty of calling a new-to-me acquisition a 'find' - especially when it is a recovery (dusty, dirty, untouched for years, etc).

It's becoming quite ridiculous, actually. People are actually now staging cars to show them as "found". Many, many of them are known to others, but all it takes is one egomaniac to write an article claiming they "found" a car. The whole "Barn Finds" theme has jumped the shark.
