That is one kick ass salvage yard. I would love to wander around and see if there are any gems in there.

matteo101 · 04-15-2004, 10:04 PM

Thats awesome. I wonder where abouts it is?

matteo101 · 04-15-2004, 10:04 PM

The yard i mean, not my car. haha

Stare At The Sun · 04-15-2004, 10:34 PM

Crikey! That is a huge salvage yard. I too wonder if there are any gems in there, just waiting to be restored

Scorps · 04-16-2004, 08:08 AM

There is one here in Kingston about the same size as that....But they don't let you go out and get your own parts

I remember the day when I was about 12 or 13 living out west me and my dad would go to junk yards...some of the stuff you find there is cool!

Never been in one _that_ big, but out here self-service auto salvage yards are fairly common, and I've wandered around in one or two. The thing is, every one of those dead cars tells a story, and aside from getting cheap parts you can learn a lot about people by what they did to their cars.

Nah, things like, there are still people gluing shag carpeting to the top of their dashboards and WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT?

Frankly, though, for every wreck there's at least one other car, usually an older one, that just got beyond being worth fixing: cracked block, blown transmission, whatever.

Cracked Block and Blown Transmissions are big deal's!

wrongfullyaccuzd · 04-19-2004, 10:23 AM

That's ridiculously large. Where in the world is that?

Fenton-J-Cool · 04-19-2004, 11:50 AM

Furious masturbation ensues.

The best part is, you just KNOW there's a '70 Hemi Cuda somewhere in there..

too bad it shall never see the light of day again

How do you know it will never see the light of day?

Someone could save it!

CamaroRS1967 · 04-20-2004, 01:16 PM

Does anybody know where this is?

BigTruck1956 · 04-20-2004, 05:05 PM

oh man, they had some sweet cars in there...

Scorps · 04-21-2004, 07:49 AM

If you look close at that picture they got a lot of old classic cars..so sad to see them rot away

grumpyolddude · 04-21-2004, 08:18 AM

Just wander through, scavanging pennies and nickels from under the seats.... one could retire!

I'll bet you money there's some old hermit out there in a VW Microbus that's been in the junkyard for about 6 years subsisting on rats and rainwater.

Moonduck · 04-23-2004, 03:44 PM

Oh wow. Schwing!

See if there are any gems there? I can see more than a few gems in there from that one pic. Every car that I could ID was at least a Classic by age definition. There looked to be some very cool cars there.
