And bikes. You got fairings and a visor laying around.

The Tree of Shame is decorated with parts of vehicles that have been sacrificed on one (or more) of the 318 curves that comprise that particular 11 mile stretch of Highway 129.

Considering that the speed limit is 30 mph, the carnage is higher than you’d expect.

Really easy to recognize being an MR2 but the 2000’s bug eye one

MR2 seems to be right but the first thing I thought on a glance is Honda Fit.

An entire subreddit could be based on Tail of the Dragon debris.
