Chrome To Dust: An American Tragedy

I don't know how they got there. I don't know where they came from. I am not even certain what make they are...or were. What I am sure about is that when these dinosaurs roamed the American roads, no one foresaw the decline of the American auto industry that is being seen today. Everyday the papers deliver more news on the collapse of an American industry and the desperation in Detroit.

It was the late Johnny Cash that said "Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes." I wish I could still believe that we are "doin' mighty fine." Like these rusty frames, it looks like the big three in Detroit are being swallowed into the ground.

I'm no expert; I dont know the entire story of how things got to this point. And I don't know how these old relics of a younger and healthier auto industry made it onto my Grandma's farm to be forgotten. What I do know is this story is of an American tragedy being written everyday before our very eyes. So when will the last page be written? We don't know the ending to this story either.
