Just around the corner from me is a guy with an old 30's Chevy truck.. no hood, motor half missing, sitting in weeds that normally hide it all together.
Wheels all gone, bed is gone.. probably hasn't even laid eyes on it in 10 years.. but as soon as somebody asks about it, he figures the only reason you're asking is because it's worth big money.
Oh I was gunna fix that up, he says.
I guess he was waiting till it turned into a pile of dust, that way it would be easy to just scoop up into a barrel and move.
Some other folks just can't stand to think you might make a dollar on something they sold you.. they'd rathe let it rot to dust than let somebody make a buck.
