Sometimes my inspiration comes from unexpected places.

New York, New York
This one comes from Luda. New York is coming through again with proper BD awareness. I wish I could say that of San Diego….umm hmm. I would love to know the back story on this one. I am guessing it involves the pursuit of spicy food. It appears we have an early 80’s Amercian 4 door er sompin’. It looks like a Chevy? Chrysler? The missing hubcap reveals a portal to the world of foul play. And that trunk is big enough for an obese family of four.
This one is going to sling shot us in to a new area of BD discourse: What qualifies a car as a Body Dumper as opposed to a classic car? Or what’s just a shitty late 80’s Amercian car? Clearly, it’s a complex concept. I enjoy the eagerness of some who send me pics of early 90’s Lincoln Town Cars. While that’s monster in its own way, those are really not proper Dumpers. Although, they may be in the future. Are you confused yet? Good. You should be. But It will all be explained in the next few weeks. Every Monday in March I will reveal comprehensive analysis about BD categorization. All relevant topics will be covered from time period cut offs to design requirements.
Ultimately, I would love you to do your own field work and send some pictures to me. You may think you have a captured a BD. I hope so. If not, I will gently nudge you in the right direction and hope for future success. Send all images to bodydumpers@gmail.com. Please include a name if you wish, location, and any piece of info about your interaction with the Body Dumper.

Call me back, back. Call me back. This is the very first Body Dumper from the greater New York City area. It was submitted by Sarah Grieb. I often daydream about a world where everybody knows about Body Dumpers. That’s when you will see baby Ts, hot pants, trucker hats, head bands, and varsity style letter jackets with the bodydumpers.com logo. It’s going to be monster. The world of foul play owes a lot of its creepiness to Body Dumpers.
This image is great from a composition standpoint. It’s always more dramatic to see a BD by its lonesome. Plus, those apartment buildings clearly show we are not in So Cal anymore. I love that. There are BDs all over the country that need attention. Please help the cause. It’s been mentioned that SoCal is the Mecca of the worn out American car. I agree fully. But We still have many untapped markets out there. Keep the pictures coming please.
Just as Zodiac said in his April 24, 1978 letter to the S.F Chron…”I am back with you.” I apologize for the absence to all my devoted followers. It’s not like I have just been staying in bed and eating Wendy’s. Although, when you see me it may look that way. There were prolonged periods of getting monster, a brief stint with recreational depression, nearly 2 months in Michigan, and a lot of early afternoon wake ups.
2010 will prove to be a big year for bodydumpers.com. I am planning a cross country trip in a BD. The highlight will be chasing tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas with some of my unemployed friends. In addition to tornado chasing, we will also look for Body Dumpers. This trip will be captured on video as well as my camera phone. So everybody just stay hard and hold your breath for that.
Pass the ham.
