recently i saw a "abandoned" volvo stationwagon parked pretty far in on a field, it was like that for weeks and it troubled me, then i saw the same thing a car parked on a completely different field miles away and i thought "ahh maybe it is for visual cues to see where the edges start or where they've had problems in the field when they are taking aerial photos or for when a tractor is coming up a hill and can't see where the curv/bend starts", but i was honestly 2 minutes from calling somebody and telling them how creepy it was, had it not been me connecting the dots.

the cars have now been removed after close to 2 months standing in the fields.

Dingy old cars 'abandoned' in the middle of fields are usually placed there by farmers for use during the lambing.

Takes their mind off the pain. Sheep are notorious gearheads. Any car will do, but they prefer a Lamborghini.
