Little Dead Fords by the Side of the Road

During last Friday's morning commute I saw a mid-90s light blue Ford Escort lying abandoned on the shoulder of the freeway. A few miles later, a Ford Tempo (same era, same colour) had met the same fate.

Both those cars were gone by Monday, but that day another Escort lay abandoned on the shoulder. This one was a pale red, like a very faded maroon, but looked to be the same approximate age as the other cars.

I drive a mid-90s Escort, a '95 to be precise. This phenomenon does NOT make me feel good.

Note: This morning, the Dead Ford of the day was an old Explorer. That one I don't grieve for.
