we went house shopping during the 2009 housing collapse. one mcmasion foreclosure had a completely disassembled chevy corsica in one of its six garage stalls. on its belly, no jack stands, engine in pieces, a pile of clothing on hangers soaking up the oil. the kids rooms upstairs were painted black and purple.
