That first guy had $3,400 to put down in 1991? That’s the same as having almost $6,500 today. A 1991 Corolla only cost $9,100 brand NEW back in 1991, as an example! So yes, it WAS his fault. He could have easily just purchased something cheaper, and within his means. Back in 1998, the Blazer was a full size, body on…

Go read the Millionaire next door. It isn’t about having a badass car and house. Kagan is on track to actually become wealthy, instead of financing things just because he can. Your rationale is why most lottery winners end up bankrupt.

Your dealership did that with the STi because they didn’t want countless people arguing with them. Title status determines if a vehicle is new or used.

Boston is one of the more racist cities that exists. It’s crazy how much these bastions of liberalism like Boston and Portland just straight up hate minorities. It’s like their love of trendy, new things is overcompensating because they can’t stand anyone without fair skin.

You’re being an argumentative idiot. You’re wrong, and trying to argue with you is like trying to argue with someone that refuses to believe 2 plus 2 equals 4. I don’t even know how to go about fixing someone with such a skewed version of reality, so you might as well just go along on your ignorant, merry way. P.S. if…

Dude, Ron has proven himself to be delusional and out of touch with reality, a completely unreliable narrator. Do you REALLY believe that is how it went down? He probably hired the guy, the guy did as much work as possible, and Ron actively stopped him from doing what he was hired to do. “Hey Ron, I found 25 buyers…

He scrapped those cars out of spite. He had people with flatbeds and stacks of cash that were offering significantly more than the scrapyard, but less than his insane, absurd “I know what I got, ran when parked” ads were asking. When he was negotiating with Jalops, he would refuse to take into account the conditions…

No, there is not a “thin line”. There’s a big, fat, Marksalot permanent marker sized line between collecting and hoarding. He parked cars in his yard only to never so much as look at them for 25 years. You can’t even call what he did “storing” them, as another commenter mentions. He was clearly breaking the law, which…

Oh, we did. Hundreds of people offered to help. Hundreds of people called and talked to him and tried to acquire cars for fair offers. Hundreds of people tried to help. Many even showed up to prove how serious they were, with a flatbed and a stack of cash. Go read the comments sections of all of the previous articles…

He wasn’t “forced into” any kind of shitty spot by anyone else, especially the local council. It was all his own doing. Just like if you get a parking ticket, and instead of defending yourself in court against it, or just paying it, you keep ignoring it, and ignoring it. Ron dug his own grave with this. There were…

Whereas you had some crazies in the original comments that were defending him, the comments here are much more firmly in your/my camp. The pendulum seems to have shifted as people have had the opportunity to think on it, and you are seeing that what this crusty old man did was indefensible.

No, it won’t make him happy. Go watch the Lord of the Rings movies. He is Gollum, who must have possession of his precious at all costs. He would happily be clutching them as he sank into lava, as long as it meant that they were his instead of someone else’s. He doesn’t love cars, or he wouldn’t have destroyed 200…

I don’t believe that people came back to steal things. He’s proven himself delusional through hundreds of conversations with people that honestly wanted to buy his cars for a fair price and save & restore them. He’s an unreliable narrator. If there are parts missing from his junkyard, it’s because they rotted away,…

He isn’t an enthusiast, and it’s a travesty that the article described him as “loving” the cars. Go look at any of those cars and tell me whether that’s how you treat something you love. That’s “love” like Chris Brown’s fists on Rihanna’s face was love.

Look through the comments of previous articles about dipshit Ron. People gave him earnest, realistic and GENEROUS offers. It became very clear that he did not see the cars with his eyes today. He saw them only in his memories of the day that he first brought them home decades before. That rare acknowledgement of the…

Sometimes, in the comments I really disagree with you. But many times, it’s like, you just GET me, dude.

There was no point, except for him to possess his precious, his shinies. He is a dirty old man that destroyed hundreds of cars, and it is ridiculous that anyone that calls themselves an enthusiast is celebrating this automotive mass murderer in any way. He has single-handedly caused the loss of more enthusiast cars…

That guy is right. This guy has proven himself to be a delusional hoarder. Call and talk to him yourself. Look through the articles here that all talk about his situation. If you look in the comments, you’ll find tons of people that called him, truly and honestly tried to buy cars from him, only to get excuses that…

The airplane graveyard disagrees with you. That is the ideal location to lay vehicles to rest.

I agree, the author looks absurd when he is making that kind of admonishment about someone getting his 4x4 F-250 towed. The guy getting his F-250 repoed could have bought a vehicle down within his means, and wouldn’t be in this situation.
