I’m visiting a rural part of the southern US, and I have noticed that about 2/3 of the houses outside the town have yards full of cars and tractors in various states of disrepair, as well as tons of other miscellaneous stuff. Why is that? Is it kind of a culture of self-reliance and a supply of spare parts? Some other reason?

    A lot of “scrappers” will remove it for free or gas money, sort it and take it to recycle, fix and sell, etc. If they ask you to sign a receipt, do it because a lot of addicts will, too – unasked.
