Found this interesting. Looks like it’s in 🇺🇸. Surprised it has not been towed.

Heard of stories of abandoned vehicles in the Middle East (Dubai?), but with super cars.

This reminds me of walking around NYC near ground zero about a month after 9/11. There were a ton of cars covered in dust and people hard written stuff like “we will never forget” on them.

I wonder how many of those people remember that

This actually sad. If true, it means the owner was the last member of their family.

[–] there1snospoon@ttrpg.network 71 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s not even necessarily true; it’s possible their immediate family was simply too poor to insure or tow the vehicle and so left it abandoned.

Their first sentence is still true if that's the case.

Or they never knew where it was parked.

Why is the '23 date more faint than the '22 one?

[–] dcat@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

the 22 date is directly on the clear coat of the car, 23 is on previous layers of dust.

[–] pathos@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

Possibly the dust is so caked on it's harder to wipe through all of it?

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

22 date probably has traces of human oils?

[–] vitriolix@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess park wherever you want, those guys ain't towing

[–] WhipTheLlama@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a hospital. They don't tow because they charge you on the way out. This guy's estate is going to be broke!
