Why do people do this? Waste!

It's the jackasses who say they are gonna fix it up one of these days and never do. They also go around bragging to people that they have a collection of antique collector cars and brag about how much they are worth. I'm sorry, but just because you see Barett Jackson sell one for thousands of dollars doesn't make the rusted pieces of crap out in the back yard worth it. I don't care how rare the car is or what it is. If it isn't restored to pristine condition, it isn't going to go for big bucks. I knew a guy when I was a kid. He had a 71 R/T Charger with the original 440-6 pack in it. I tried like hell to get him to sell it. He just said he was "going to fix her up and make her look new and that car will be my retirement one of these days". 20 years later what is left of it is still sitting there with an maple tree growing out through the back window. He just sat there staring at it while he drank his beers. It was nothing more than a lawn ornament.
