Is it just me or does the phrase "gates are in decent shape" imply that the hinges would still be attached to both the gates and the truck, rather than consumed by rust?

Damn, those movies of the Titanic don't show rust streaks that bad. I like how the "one owner" was a lumberyard-- can you imagine how may tons of sheetrock, plywood, and 2X4's that poor old girl was forced to haul before being pushed up against that wall. Talk about a tough life. Someone should go put a bullet through it and put her out of her misery.
