running out of desert

It is located in Southern California, in a desert community in dry storage, for the past 20 years.

I MUST sell this vehicle as I am losing my storage space...
'smatter? Can't find another patch of desert to let it sink into?

Those old Jag sedans have some very nice soft lines. Very feminine.

I maintained this vehicle myself when I had my VW shop on Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa, and this was a very nice car to drive, handling exceptionally well and running beautifully.

When,35 years ago?

I don't think Big Bear qualifies as "dry storage" it gets seasonal freezing and sometimes snow.

It appears to have outlasted the plastic pink flamingoes on the lawn.

Oh, I thought you meant the buffet was running out of DESSERT! THAT would be tragic!
