Default No Love Any Longer

Today; cruising along Lake Shore Dr in Long Beach, Indiana saw this C4 in need of some love.

Either an owner who does not care, or stolen and abandoned.

That really is a shame. Looks like it was parked, the snow and weather hit, got plowed in and is not going anywhere anytime soon until the snow melts.

Looks like someone already took a souvenir (rear emblem).

Poor baby car...Maybe we can get Alyssa Milano to start doing commercials, and try to raise money for abandoned, hungry and unwanted Corvettes...??

A loader and a forklift would have that out of there in 20 minutes. Up here we always stay clear of the dreaded yellow snow!

Not me pal, every time Sally Struthers used to come on TV to ask for food for starving kids years ago she was bigger.

Something fishy there

I haven't decided whether some of the Hollywood types are burdened with unbearably high levels of empathy, or whether the charity businesses hire actors who are especially skilled at feigning empathy. I suspect it's the latter.

A popular joke is that there are no more starving kids in Africa because Madonna and Sandra Bullock adopted them all.

That's a pretty serious commitment and I doubt they are feigning it. I just don't know why they have to go overseas to find their humanitarian fulfillment - plenty of need right here in the USA.

Default Indiana vs. Sarasota

How come you are in Indiana this time of year and not Sarasota? My 68 looked like that C-4 when I lived in NY after a snow storm. The car is now so spoiled, I don't drive it in the rain. Jerry

You should watch South Park, you could have written an episode they did involving Sally.
Talk about a thread getting off tangent.....

Yes - this thread has gone off topic by several light years.

Don't EVEN get me started on poverty in America...my siblings and I grew up in the projects of Pittsburgh in worse conditions than 99% of the supposed "poor" in America today - BEFORE food stamps, subsidized housing and 3 years of unemployment benefits.

A guy I had the great pleasure of working with in my career was from Iran. He had some interesting perspectives on our country. Here's the one I repeat the most:

"Only in America are the poor people fat."

Now ask yourself why.

Looks like we have raised the ire of the C4 owners. Are they standing up for their generation (with good cause) or are they thin skinned?
