I Thought that Love Would Last Forever: I was Wrong
Lest you think they're all sparkling, like new... this is how most Alfas meet the end of their days. The first one I owned wasn't much nicer than this one. Ah well. I wonder if he'll sell me the tail lights?
The pictures remind me of Joshua's old barn photos. Here's to hoping he finds images as compelling at this Sunday's show!
I worked at a scrapyard one summer during college. I remember actually feeling shocked that there were scrapped sports cars in there. Only a couple. But I guess it never occurred to me that anyone would ever throw one away.

It's sad, but also beautiful, in a strange sort of way. Even as junk, they still retain those lines.
