Hence my user name. Some of the trucks I pick off at the junkyard are nicer than the one I drove there. Making comments to myself like "Wow, this one is a lot less rusty than mine, and they junked it?" And "Bet this one just needed a transmission rebuild."
People junk stuff around here because it doesn't pass emissions standards. I understand we have to care for the environment, but not allowing someone to get plates and throwing away a whole vehicle because it has a "small evaporative system leak," is probably worse for the environment.
Sorry, got sidetracked. -Yeah, I drive junk. Lots of junkers.
