Damage like that can, I believe, be fixed, if youor the owners care to do it--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, that kinda hurts to read ... AND ... see. Sure hope they were insured. If they can be restored again, hopefully they will be instead of just scrapped &/or crushed.

A set of quotation marks would have helped us understand the post better. A good example of the need for punctuationand clear writing! We were feeling sorry for you. In any case, I suspect the cars can be restored,though if they were a bit rough to begin with andnot running, the owner may not have an interestin doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sunk in the ground with only a roof and no walls, it kind of looks like nature just sped things up a bit. A long time ago I heard the term "benevolent neglect". Since I heard it I get the feeling people have been working overtime to demonstrate the concept to me. I spent $400 to put my Riviera in a storage unit from May until September just to get a little elbow room in my garage. Pictures like that just make me glad I'm willing to go the extra.Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 If you enlarge the photographs you will see that they were in a very sad state prior to the collapse! If they are insured it was likely a lucky day for the owner! I don't understand why Nick is so distraught ! Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The famous punctuation example, "Eats shoots and leaves" (a Panda's diet) is different than "Eats, shoots, and leaves..." I misunderstood too, thought they were Nick's cars...but still sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
