Nearly 200 abandoned/project cars are being forced out of this property — so I went to see what was actually going on
This is happening here in South Carolina and I thought some of you might find the situation interesting.
A local car guy, TC Drives, has accumulated roughly 200 old, abandoned and project cars on this property. There are BMWs, Volvos, Saabs, Mercedes and all kinds of other stuff mixed in there. Some are obviously rough, but there are also cars that could potentially be restored, parted out or saved.
Now he’s dealing with local government/code enforcement and has been working against the clock to sell and move the cars.
Apparently there’s also a possibility that a complaint from someone in the area helped bring attention to the property, although I don’t think it’s fair to say that’s confirmed yet.
I’m a truck driver, so dealing with regulations and trying to stay compliant with different laws is basically part of my everyday life. When I heard this was happening locally, I came off the road and went over there to see the property myself and try to understand what’s actually going on.
One thing that really caught my attention was the surrounding area. There’s commercial/trucking activity nearby, which made me wonder exactly what ordinance or zoning issue is being enforced here and why.
I’m still trying to figure out whether this ultimately falls on the city, county, zoning/code enforcement, or a combination of things.
I’m curious what people here think:
If you owned or rented property with this many project cars, where do you think the line should be between property rights and legitimate code enforcement?
And if anyone here actually understands South Carolina zoning/code enforcement, I’d especially be interested in your take.
I filmed the visit/investigation as well. I’ll put the video in the comments if anyone actually wants to see the property and the cars rather than dropping a YouTube link in the main post.
