A BIG HAT TIP TO 2ndDivisionVet!.......................
I was reading the other day that the average college debt now is $30,000. And I thought, wow, that’s a lot. Until I realized that’s what a medium priced car costs now.
I believe this has been debunked repeatedly...I’ll have to dig up links.
It’s a hoax.

Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
I used to listen to Paul Harvey every day at lunch time before Rush was on the Radio.
He had a talk one time about this very thing, manufacturers putting out millions of cars every year. He said, and this was back in the 80’s, that it just could not keep going forever. The price keeps going up, they last longer than they used to, the union wages keep climbing. The assembly lines get more efficient.
They would eventually pile up some where. Looks like he was right.................
A hoax or just something that dumb people fall for, it’s been posted and laughed at enough here.
Send them to China, via plane, via plane that doesn’t land, just fly over a ghost city and dump them out at 35,000ft...

Its a hoax.
2. What IS the explanatio for these huge stockpiles? Tempoarary storage before being shipped out, photoshop, something else?
FEMA death cars!!!
The reasons given at The UK Mirror are not very compelling...................
My parents bought a house in 1971 for the whopping price of $17000, 3B 1 Bath, huge corner lot with chain link fence...................I was 16 and thought it was so outrageous that they would never pay it off.....................
The picture that is claimed to be in Swindon is actually in Avonmouth, just like one further below in the article.
