Thanks! Yes, this car is fantastic out there all alone…

I found a few damaged cars during my trip to the Southern desert of the country. Always look picturesque but scared.

This is a whole topic and could actually be a blogpost. I run across abandoned cars, trucks, campers, etc., all over the desert. If you can find them in a pristine state, that’s awesome. But usually the vandals have gotten to them, picked them apart, spray painted them. I don’t like that. … . Describing them as “scared” is an interesting way of looking at it. “Scary” is what I always think, especially if they’ve been burned, but to look at the cars themselves as a being that’s been abandoned and are scared…. that’s really quite brilliant!

Yes. I don’t know what it is about cars, signs, old houses, etc., that makes people want to shoot at them, but you see it all the time. THAT to me is scary. This particular car has many bullet holes in it.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if people could exercise restraint and respect and find it enough to just enjoy the sight of abandoned human-made things in the desert, as you did? That day could be long way off.

I think it’s an ego thing. The need to be “seen” and have some sort of immortality that drives people to carve their names, shoot things up with bullets and spray paint “art”. It’s a problem that is getting worse. Covid seemed to accelerate the activity, unfortunately.
