One thing I've noticed in the last few years is I'll see what I'm going to call a "junk car caravan" -
One car towing another down the interstate (they are always heading south it seems like). The lead car usually has minor damage and the towed car has the front bumper cover removed and a tow bar attached to the metal bumper underneath. Usually there are additional brake lights attached to the towed car and the towed car will also have some body damage.
I guess what is happening is small-time car lots are buying rolling vehicles at auction with moderate body damage in order to repair and flip, but they don't have a car carrier to haul them back on. Or maybe this is just a more efficient method if you don't have a semi to haul cars.
Have you seen this? Do you have any more insight?
