What a Shame!

[hotrodchev]

Sad thing is... it's not the only Yenko car slowly rusting away in Wisconsin right now. Although I can respect the fact that these owners are just not interested in selling their cars, it's still a shame to see them sit and deteriorate outdoors, especially when it would take such little effort to get them indoors. BUT... what I do find degrading and offensive are some of the comments posted in this thread. I personally don't give a RAT'S ASS how deep of pockets anyone in this group has, nor is everyone born with a silver spoon their mouth. If anything, this hobby and the very existance of this website is based upon sharing ideas, information and just plain helping each other out, not for ripping someone apart because they won't sell you their car. It's no wonder why some of these owners have become so bitter over the years and seem to get more pleasure out of turning down offers and watching people walk away disappointed. If you really care about the hobby and preserving these cars, then why not offer to bring the guy a tarp or help him locate and move the car to a safer storage place. Believe me... a little kindness goes a long way.

Tom B. - My compliments to you for posting these photo's and raising awareness that a number of these cars are still sitting out there being neglected. Now it's up to fellow hobbyists to lend these people support and do what's necessary to help preserve these cars until they are ready to be restored.

Penny for your thoughts people!
