Is that south of I-10 in Tucson?

Man. You could drive a different car every day for a year. That'd be mad.

The lot was almost a mile wide and each row was about 50 cars deep, there easily could be over 10,000 cars there. So how about a new car every day for 30 years?

Where is this located? I am surprised by the lack of security and such small fence. Someone could get some wheels easily!

Looks like the one I see often, just south of Colorado Springs on I-25 next to the pikes peak raceway as another has pointed out.
Edit: I have those same thoughts every every time I drive my jetta past it... Certainly a few rims won't be missed!

I was actually surprised by the security, about 30 seconds after stopping and taking the photo a truck rolled up and a guard told me to delete the photos and leave immediately. Not sure of the legality of this since the gravel road I was on didn't have any signs/gates I crossed so I guess it was a public road? Either way I didn't feel like arguing/having the cops called so I left.
Other comments are correct, pikes peak raceway.

If the road was not marked private the guard was just spewing bullshit

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I had every right to be there, unless that road was private. Does the road have to be marked private for it to be considered trespassing?
Say I lived in the country and had a half mile driveway to my house but no fence or signs. Surely someone would be trespassing if they went on that road without my permission despite me not having a sign, right? I wonder if the same thing applies here, even though it was outside the fence, the road looked brand new and went right to the entrance of the lot so it might be on their land, just outside their fence.
Either way I got what I wanted: a couple pictures and a chance to stretch my legs on a road trip (since the range on my Jetta is so long and I rarely have to stop to fuel up!)

yeah you'd have to ignore signs to be trespassing, otherwise its public access..
If you had a private drive and did not mark it as such, it would not be trespassing to drive up it.. the UPS guy could drive right up to your house, but if you put a private property/no trespassing sign the UPS guy would leave your package in the ditch

WOW! Delete the photos!!!! Where does this guy think he is at Nazi Germany? I wouldn't have deleted a thing and told him to have a nice day and drive the fuck off! Security Guards take their jobs WAY too serious!
2
Ha, quite the opposite. The guard looked about 20 and was clearly just reciting the line their boss gave them to try to scare people off. I didn't hand my phone over or anything, I just said "sure I'll totally delete the photos" and then I left. The guard was probably just pissed that now they'd have to fill out a bunch of paperwork for a "security incident" or some other bullshit lol

How many cars would you estimate were stored there?

Every time I see a pictures of one of these graveyards, I wish I hid a GPS in my car to see where it went...
1
Yeah, me too! I think mine has been re-sold though, cause it was a 2015, and VW is actively re-selling the 2015 models once they have done the software update.

Colorado by the Pikes Peak Raceway?
