Bird of Prey: What happens to cars when they "die"?



Well, for the most part they end up in a wrecking yard (a.k.a. junkyard) where they are dismantled. After all useful parts have been salvaged a car crusher is used to make the remains more compact and ready for the scrap metal smelter. But some cars, some especially "good" cars, end up in a car graveyard (image above). A car graveyard is basically a resting place where a car owner (or shall we say aficionado) leaves his or her dead cars to the elements. Not particularly environmentally friendly, I agree, but sentimental nevertheless. After all the practice of giving cars personalities is quite common. For one, you surely know people who name their cars?
