You're a good man for breaking your own #1 rule by putting the cover on to salvage the car, not destroy it. So you did the right thing and the owner may silently, to themselves, thank you one day.

It’s a modern Carrera, which means it’s junk, there’s a 1980s Porsche 928 sitting abandoned in good shape outside an abandoned gas station in Minnesota. These cars aren’t really desirable no more, and Porsche doesn’t really make good cars like that anymore either. There’s almost no leaves in it which mean it’s been left for less than a single season.

I’d imagine the property is now owned by a developer, the plot of land it sits on will be worth far more than the original house. The puzzling bit is the Porsche, I’d guess it’s around a 2003 model, the tax disk shows 2013 but disks were phased out around that time so it could have last been on the road after that. I don’t think the car can be connected to the original owner of the property . Its not a safe place to store it, it’s like the owner is hoping it may get stolen so they can do an insurance claim? Be interesting to see if it’s actually still insured.

It looks like there’s very little vandalism there. A little inside the house and the Mini. The rear window of the 911 wasn’t broken. If it was, there would be a lot of broken glass remaining. The glue that holds the rear window to the top gave way. It happens due to age and heat.

I am not a Porsche fan but even I can agree, that is a sad thing to see it sitting there, handbrake was up too so brakes will be seized solid. Just a shame vandals have to ruin everything they see and touch, how would they like it if their property was vandalised? It would have been good to see the Mini too though as that seem to have sustained more damage. Not sure if the cover will do more harm as it may trap moisture or even fly off again scratching the paint. Unbelievable a house like this is sitting about, mansions seem to be the common thing on the channel to be abandoned but I guess the high upkeep of them means some eventually may not be able to afford. Glad you also set that butterfly free. I think many possessions were taken so they had no intention of coming back. Great video though.
