Vehicles from Hell -- still there, November 2022.

The Vehicles from Hell are still there! Worth checking out, the vehicles are so cool!
[Jen Bodhi, 08/03/2019]They are still there! In all their gory glory! I don't know where the previous poster was looking, but these haven't moved at all and are easily seen from the road. The map pin is correct. Just look for the Shady Lane RV sign on the same corner. Unfortunately, the "cars" are behind a barbed-wire chainlink fence, with a menacing but misspelled warning about the "Gaurd Dog."

They were absolutely still there when I was road-tripping from Vegas back to North Hollywood after Labor Day weekend. I have spent ridiculous amounts of time trying to figure out if they were created for Wasteland, which is held a few miles west of there. I'm glad to have found this site to explain them.
[Karina Wright, 01/28/2016]This is no longer here. Nearby are a few fun things. A welding shop with old Route 66 gas signs and a place called Dickey's Mountain, but the cars are gone.
