All things waste away: anything that comes from the earth the elements will eventually reclaim. From ancient Mayan pyramids to the Personal Armored Space that is the modern car, they’re all doomed. I’ve been watching this process play out over the past few weeks in an accelerated form, the urban elements are reclaiming a straggler. Click ahead to see Nature in Action!<\/p>\n
The pic above is already a week or two into the process, either someone stole the car and parked it here to take the tires or the owner was trying to replace some flat tires and came back too late.

A week later, more paint can decorations, a chair through the windshield, someone jacked your jack, some trash on the roof.<\/p>\n

Even more paint, some clothes piled on, windshield is broke for good.<\/p>\n

Don’t think anyone will be driving this home anytime soon. That’s about where the process stands. Next step will be either A) more trash and paint will be applied, B) a fire consumes this shell, C) the property owner or the city decide to have it towed, or D) all of the above, in that order. I’d prefer A, then C, and right when it’s getting towed, B! Have it go down Broadway, pass out some flyers, and we have a new holiday in the making! England has it’s burning of the Guy<\/a>, we can have a Torching of the Carcancha, have it be our new regional fall celebration. Who doesn’t want to take a match to that piece of junk they call their means of transportation?<\/p>\n BONUS! BONUS! BONUS!<\/p>\n If you buy one of them new, overpriced, and fucking ugly condos that are just about ready for the expected wave of chumps, well then you’ll have a perfect view of this car and the natural urban process it has been destined to fulfill. Or you can look out the other side of your building and see all the healthy, functioning cars going down the I5, every one of them future junkers. Just like your condo building is a future ghetto. Everything wastes away…<\/p>\n UPDATE!<\/p>\n Kevin is right, after a few days the trash car was moved and it hooked up with some other cheap set of wheels, a similar colored clunker…<\/p>\n …with a sign that read “$100 or best offer”. I guess someone snapped it up because it was gone a few days later. Notice the addition of a Dodge hood.<\/p>\n And finally the story ends, our dear trash car has gone to that giant Pick-a-Parts in the sky, all that remains is a glossy streak of black car blood. Now to find a Delco Oil Filter to convert into a candle…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All things waste away: anything that comes from the earth the elements will eventually reclaim.
