Holy diver Shane!  You totally hit the mark there...

I thought you'd show something somewhat beat up, or run down, but that pretty much takes the cake.  Heck, it's even shot up...

Reminds me of an episode from the Simpsons. Nelsom Muntz says "Hey, check this out! (he shoots at an old car) That's my Dad's shooting car. Just three more payments and it's ours"

I like how the chrome is still good.. hah..
We dug up a 57 Bel Air at my ex girlfriends parents place, way out in the middle of nowhere.. it was in the middle of a field.. and the chrome was still spotless after wiping it off a bit.. it was amazing to see.

Every car we dug up, the metal was rotted away, and the chrome was still good. Door handles, window trim, bumpers.. off a few car's, all in good shape.

Anyone know what it says spraypainted on the door?

I hear ya Dave, a little bondo and elbow grease she'll look as good as new!  :rotfl:

I think that car is in wisconsin...around La Crosse I believe....It had a tag on the photo but it got chopped off when I copied it....It does beg the question though how it got there, on top of that rock and all...obviously been there a while too.

Not defending wi. But I seen a few shooting at cars sitting at cabins. Including my own families cabins. It happens. I never shot an amc however.

I once stuck a borg warner transfer case  (that dissentegrated itself pounding the trails) on a hill.than shot it enough to see it start smoking. Haha fun time.
