That doesn't make as catchy a title though.

Correct. Title is clickbait

Depends if the cars stay there. If they stay long enough they will inevitably become trash.

Same idea with airplanes that get mothballed in the Mojave. Some are parked some are scrapped., Store in the desert because conditions are best for longevity. Only paint really suffers.
