If you have good eyes and you look really, really hard you might be able to see the door bottoms, sills, floorpan, wings, roof, tailgate and bonnet fizzing, :D .

Well, nostalgia is one thing, and, excuse me for saying, no offense intended, stupidity another. Believe me, I have seen my favorite cars I'd known from my youth but could not afford then, dumped in car cemeteries, stacked on top of each other, lying on their side, hacked to pieces, gradually wasting away, looking so sad and lonely. But I realized the impossibility of bringing them back to life and gratefully relieved them of some of their vitals to live on elsewhere. There comes a point you have to let go. . . .
