Stop and think about it. You get an old car sitting out in the back 40 .... it's slowly rusting out over time. Brake lines. Coolant hoses. Oil lines. Old gas tanks. Transmission fluid lines. They all fail at some point and dump all these toxic fluids on the ground underneath the vehicle.

I get it ... you don't care ... you only think about yourself. You will eventually die and then it will eventually be someone else's problem to deal with.

Maybe .... but 80 cars is an awful lot. An illegal junkyard that size is big enough to be seen from space. Every part of the U.S. has been photographed from above. All you have to do is go on Google maps and your property is right there if you don't believe me.

Trust me ... you don't want the state or federal governments looking your way.

Jeez ... we're looking at at least a couple of million dollars in cleanup costs where i work. "The powers that be" let the problem run for 35 years and now it's come time to pay the piper.

I've seen the satellite pictures of my place. I also had run ins with the EPA and law in the past, but they learned that it was best to leave me alone. I had them out testing the water and they found nothing wrong. I don't have many vehicle leaks of fluids and I do my best to keep the yard in good condition. It's a critters paradise as I have plenty of wild life living in the yard.

The authorities are VERY aware of me and my place. I studied the laws well enough to keep them out of my little world. Been here almost 40 years now and it's been a adventure that suits me just fine and dandy.

You are just unhappy that you have to play make believe and pretend to try and make your little world seem right.



You are letting your programing get in your way.

Figured I would add this little tidbit of information that you may not be aware of.

Did you know what they do with the dirt they dig up from old fuel stations where the fuel leaked from the tanks for many years?

They spread it on farmland.
