What was once a gleaming, $440,000 masterpiece is now covered in dust – and has been for over a year. It sits in a Canadian parking garage, neglected and unloved. The battery is dead, and the registration has expired. The passenger's window reads "Clean Me," as bemused passersby wonder why on earth this rare supercar is being left to die.
You might assume that the owner of this Porsche Carrera GT had no choice but to leave the car behind: Perhaps he has been away on business for a prolonged period of time? Or maybe he was forced out of the country without warning, abandoning all of his possessions?
As weird as those scenarios may sound, the real story is far weirder. The owner is in fact still living in his high-rise building in Alberta, Canada. He has not forgotten about his Carrera GT, and as you can see by the line of dust on the passenger window, he has in fact been to see his car quite recently.
According to Jeff Chin, the man who shot the YouTube video below, "the owner has many other cars at his disposal," and a hectic life dictates that he "hasn't been able to get around to the car."
As any true car enthusiast will tell you, neglecting a rare machine like a Carrera GT is far worse than, say, neglecting your typical family hauler. Not only is it worth about 20 times more, only 1,270 Carrera GTs were produced between 2004 and 2007
