Above is just a few of the thousands upon thousands of unsold cars at Sheerness, United Kingdom. Please do see this on Google Maps....type in Sheerness, United Kingdom. Look to the west coast, below River Thames next to River Medway. Left of A249, Brielle Way.

Timestamp: Friday, May 16th, 2014.

There are hundreds of places like this in the world today and they keep on piling up...

Think about it. . . . material from cars for ? in the future should a certain industry go under or is unable to manufacture.

IDK if I believe this. I took a look at google maps of Upper Heyford, because I used to be stationed there, and you can see that some areas used to have cars but don’t anymore. So maybe in some cases it is temporary storage.

Are those all cars from the same model year, or from several different years? Same model year, and it is probably temporary. If there are different model years on the same lot, then I think there is a problem.

"Above is just a few of the thousands upon thousands of unsold cars at Sheerness, United Kingdom. Please do see this on Google Maps....type in Sheerness, United Kingdom."

So I did. There are many cars there... right next to a port facility. Google Earth has a history feature which allows one to view older satellite imagery (if it exists) and guess what? There have been many cars at that location going back to 1990. They are obviously importing or exporting cars from that location, but they clearly aren't just storing them there "to die."

Now, now, just because you can buy something somewhere doesn’t mean they sell that thing there...

Go by most any port in the US and you’ll see lots full of unsold cars. Same
at the auto manufactures locations, auto auctions have acres of unsold cars.

I suspect the premise of the article is largely correct; some of those photos are phony in my opinion.
