I have always been unsure of what to think of really rusty driving cars. I think they are a hazard but it is really funny to think of some person's reaction seeing it parked in a parking lot or rollin' down main street Laughing . Ill start off with one that stood out to me on the "rusty/crappy" level.

Here is slowlow's old 68 ghia -

Another one Slowlow brought back from the dead. This car was very rusty. I bought it from the guy he sold it to and I can't remember now but either Sam or the guy I got it from let me know not to open both the doors at the same time if that tells you anything. And that was 7 years ago. I sold it in 08 to a local guy and it sat uncovered in his backyard under a tree for the past 6 years. Now it sits on his car lot, pretty sure he is hesitant about driving it and falling through the floors because they look pretty sketchy now. Laughing Its about 2 miles from my house, I'll stop by and take some new pics of it soon. I didn't take many of it but i;m sure Slowlow has some in his gallery.
