We’ve all seen those places along the highway, usually a small farm or a lot on someone’s property that is lined with a fleet of broken down old cars. You might ask yourself, “How does someone get to that point? It’s hard enough to own one or two cars, much less an entire parking lot full of them!” Oddly enough, it doesn’t take that much to accumulate a collection of cars. In the US, on average, there are 2.8 vehicles per household. A variety of things can happen to add to your collection. In some cases, a child might join the military and leave their starter car behind for years, and by the time they come back, they have already moved on to a newer model. Sometimes a loved one may pass away, or simply decide they are too old to drive and leave behind a car for the next person to take on. Any other reason from someone offering you an old car for $10, just to get out of their hair, or maybe you just can’t unload an old car for a decent trade-in.
