This guy has been hoarding cars for years – mostly European but with some American and Japanese gems thrown in the mix – and now these vehicles are creating quite the problem for him, and he has no idea what to do with them.

Most of these vehicles are in really bad shape and are basically unusable.

The fact that they’re clearly not exactly showroom-ready is a problem for him.

And that problem leads to an even bigger problem.

The car collection is proving problematic

You don’t have to go that far to find collections of vehicles that look like they belong to no one but are simply being amassed by hoarders.

If you find decrepit cars in a field, the natural conclusion is to assume these cars have no owner.

But that’s often not the case.

A while back, a content creator found a collection of diverse vehicles – from Italian exotic sports cars to fire trucks – parked in the middle of nowhere.

They definitely looked abandoned, but the YouTuber explained that they all belonged to the same person, and the owner was refusing to sell them.

For some reason, some people just love hoarding vehicles they can’t drive and can’t sell.

That’s what’s going on with TC Robertson – he goes by tc.drives on Instagram – because he is apparently one of those people who buy used cars and leave them to collect rust.

This guy accidentally bought some pretty interesting cars

TC has been buying dilapidated cars for a long time and, by his own admission, he has no plan, and no idea what to do with them.

There’s no grand strategy behind his hoarding addiction, but it accidentally resulted in a car collection that features some potentially valuable classics.

Among others, he owns a BMW M3 and a Porsche 911 Turbo (pictured above), which is apparently the only car he actually drives.

We also spotted a couple of ‘woodies’ – American vehicles with wooden panels on the side – and even three JDMs, as in cars that were exclusively available in Japan.

But he’s now facing a couple of issues.

He can either sell the cars the way they are now, but that’s going to be difficult because he’d have to find a buyer, and also because he wouldn’t get much for them.

The alternative is to fix them – one by one – and sell them.

This would definitely make him some money, but he’d have to invest a lot of cash upfront, not to mention time.

We’re glad at least one of these vehicles – his 911 – is actually being driven from time to time.
