Used Auto Parts

I imagine you have a "used auto parts" store near you. Some of them go by names like Pick-N-Pull or Pull-A-Part, or maybe just "you know, that place out east of town with 10 acres of cars." Most of these places will have a wide variety of makes and models of cars, trucks, SUVs and who knows what else. Sometimes you can find cars for sale that still run too! One advantage of being retired means you can hit the junk yard just about any time you don't have anything else to do!

Back beyond the parts cars was the "about to be crushed" pile of cars. 

At my local place they have several riding lawn mowers, and even some boats that are available for parts. The only vehicle I saw for sale this time was a Nissan Sentra for $3,100. While that might have been tempting, I was in search of some specific car parts that will become part of a special gift for a friend of mine. I can't reveal who, or what this gift might be, so let's just take a look around at the highlights. 

1990 Geo Metro with a big whopping 3 cylinder. From what I can find on line these were re-badged Suzukis from Japan, later made in Canada. Also badged as a Pontiac Firefly. Oh, and this BIG HONKING THREE CYLINDER has a 1.0 liter engine, but it got really good gas mileage. 

"Ready for Scrap." Oh really!

Question 1: How do you move cars around the scrap yard?
Answer: Forklift.
Qestion 2: Hey, what's this funky purple car in the foreground?

Porsche Cayenne
Trust me, I looked for anything cool to use off of this thing. 

FIAT 500, just a reminder of my 2013 FIAT 500 Abarth.

Mercedes 2 seater, you know, the supercharger one with Kompressor!

Audi TT

Another Audi TT, with a Volva station wagon. 
It's like the United Nations in here!
