After yesterday's Corolla Junkyard Find, it seemed right to follow up with another, newer, Corolla. You know how you can tell when you're a car's final owner? Such was the case with the final owner of this much-abused Corolla, who drove his or her Corolla a couple thousand miles west, no doubt to be where cannabis is legal.
This sort of paint job attracts a lot of attention from members of the law-enforcement community, especially when the driver looks like this guy or maybe even this guy.
The house-paint-and-rattle-can-graffiti look also tends to enrage neighbors, which increases the chances that the car will get parking tickets and then get towed away by The Man when those tickets aren't paid.
The drive out from New Jersey probably featured a lot of E.Town Concrete on the stereo.
Judging from all the stickers and tags on the car, the owner must have been a big fan of Creature skateboards.
Many Eastcrust stickers as well.
You see many of these Grenade Gloves stickers on various mud-splattered SUVs and final-owner hoopties in Denver. They've become quite commonplace in junkyards, maybe even more so than ICP Hatchetman stickers these days.
Odds are that this car's first owner was a rental-car company, as is the case with so many Corolla LEs.
Or perhaps the original owner came from this Buick-like demographic.
It's hard to imagine any car company being willing to torpedo their wholesome image with a song from the notoriously drug-addled
Sly and the Family Stone back during the band's heyday. What's next,
Iggy Pop selling Cadillacs?
OK, now we need some of Sly's yodeling, from an era when
cities were burning,
bombs were dropping, and
shit was getting crazier every day.
