Questionable Vehicle Trove: Amateur or Insurance Scam?
Mucking around online one day, you stumble upon a YouTube video that leaves you with more questions than answers. This video is from Exploring With Josh, a channel known for its tours of abandoned places. In this particular video, Josh is exploring an American property filled with what appears to be cars randomly strewn about, but is it an eccentric's hoard or just a dumping ground for scammers? I've watched the video twice and I'm still unsure.
Josh spends a good portion of the video telling the story of the home's last known resident, but the details are sketchy at best, and given Josh's tendency to embellish (the cars shown in the video thumbnail aren't even on the property), take the narrative with a pinch of salt. It's the exploration part that really catches your attention.
And by exploration, I mean weirdness. Even if this place is a local dumping ground, I'd find it hard to believe that random folks are getting rid of such a high concentration of quirky European cars. There are at least two vintage Alfas on the property, along with an old Nissan Stanza and a garage-kept Lotus Esprit. There's also a rather clean-looking Honda CB750 in storage.
If it ended there, I could write this off as a former car enthusiast's collection, but it doesn't. Why? Well, while both the Volvo V50 and the Buick Regal TourX are technically European wagons, they don't fit in with the rest of the collection. And that's just the beginning. Next to the TourX, there's a 981 Boxster on bald tires under a car cover, and out back, hidden behind another covered mystery vehicle, there's an ND Mazda Miata that looks suspiciously clean.
The host points out the Miata's presence as somewhat strange, but elsewhere in the video he suggests that the property has been abandoned for about eight years. If that's true, that would put the ND in play; it was first introduced in 2015. The Regal and 981 would also fall within that window. Possible? Sure. Likely? Hmm.
Josh claims the property's previous owner was born rich, making it plausible that all of the cars we see here belonged to him. Either way, I see a dilapidated Pennsylvania Tudor Revival that desperately needs some love. If the cars come with it, all the better.
So, what do you think? Genuine collection or a junkyard? Share your thoughts with us at our website.
The video sparked intrigue about the property's former resident, who seems to have had an unusual collection of vehicles, ranging from quirky European cars like Alfas, Nissan Stanza, and Lotus Esprit, to more peculiar additions such as the Volvo V50, Buick Regal TourX, 981 Boxster, and ND Mazda Miata. This collection, though not entirely cohesive, could potentially belong to a wealthy car enthusiast, or it might be a mysterious find for the interior design and home-and-garden aficionados, as restoring the dilapidated Pennsylvania Tudor Revival might turn this unusual collection into a unique lifestyle statement once the cars are in their respective garages or design-centric rooms.
