The Ramblin' Wreck Parade, a display of classic cars and feats of student engineering, is held before every homecoming football game.

After the parade, the classic cars go home with their owners, but the contraptions go to the Wreck Graveyard, located at the corner of Sixth Street and Techwood Drive, near the O’Keefe Building.

There they sit, providing a trellis for weeds and a home for stray cats, until the next homecoming when Tech students scour the Graveyard for parts.

Take a glimpse inside the Graveyard.
