Where did the Love Go? [Photography Contest Nature & Landscape Photos]

Abandoned VW, somewhere in upstate Washingon. Rumor has it the Flaming Pair had car troubles on their last road trip; I can see why--and a few bullet holes to boot. That explains why Cathy B has a new SUV now.
Happy birthday, Bobbie Davis!!!
