It finds a nice retirement home called Junkyard Acres where it rusts to senility or is humanely put to sleep by the car compactor.

It usually ends up in a scrap yard, where it sits for a couple of years. Unless some old motorhead like me finds it and decides to resurrect it, it ends up being crushed and melted down to produce steel in order to build more cars.

Many from the area where i live are placed on the Roy Rufus artificial reef which is the largest artificial reef in the southern hemisphere, created through the sinking of old ships, concrete blocks and car bodies since 1968 :)

In very, very rare cases, it might end up in a collection or museum.

Usually it will go to a scrap dealer to be stripped of its resaleable parts then its crushed and bundled for recycling,usually being shipped abroad.
