Spotted a cache (gaggle? posse?) of Suzukiclone parts cars. Interest piqued. Sanity questioned.

Since I recently aquired additional parking space, is it normal that I should immediately want to fill it with junk automobiles?

Someone told me about these, and I located them with Google Streetview (screen grab below).

Later confirmed with Darin Eyeview.

White = 1995 Pontiac Firefly, 3 cyl., 5-speed, badly rusted
Maroon = 1995 (?) Metro, 3 cyl., auto., moderately rusted
Purple = 199? Suzuki Swift, 4 cyl., auto., less rusted

I wonder if they're for sale. I wonder if I'm turning into a crazy person.

Several projects come to mind... unbidden...
