It Cant Be Accidental

Image result for knackered car imagesThere are some very nice cars out there that stand out from the crowd, and there are some cars that stand out from the crowd, but for all the wrong reasons. The smart cars look nice, and  are often modified, low and well polished. They stand out on the street and hit you in the face.
   Now equally as fascinating to me anyway is the much rarer car that grabs my attention for the wrong reasons. It is often comically filthy, battered to ridiculous degree and has various  loose body work half hanging off . Wheels are often rusty, interior full of rubbish. Both these classes of car do not exist by accident. Both are the product of a conscious effort. Both owners are showing off in my eyes, and are equally happy with their creations...
  I sometimes look at the comically battered cars, those that have taken real effort to achieve a level of such deterioration, and wonder just what kind of life the owners lead. Are the rest of their lives lived in such a reckless nihilistic manner ? Make no mistake those owners are just a voyeuristic as the polished show car driver, but in a more twisted rebellious way.
