A Horse With No Name

Looks like I may need to take a trip to Massachusetts, Df! And Balthazar...if I ever make it to Jersey...we know where to go...

So this week I've been hauling a lot of junk into my favorite scrap metal yard, Ace Iron and scrap. Weird group of cars there... A group of Alfa Sedans...a bunch of older Benzes, from the 80's and 90's, some odd stuff... A Suburban with 24" expensive wheels that was in decent shape, expensive wheels left on the thing when it went to the crusher for some odd reason... A really clean 944 Porsche, that had a claw put through it's roof... Several clean FWD Cadillacs. a few with low mileage and nice... Several Jags... A WRX (2004ish) that had been built into a rally car of sorts....was crushed, so I couldn't get a good look at the cage...but somebody had a bad day racing... a 64ish Pontiac, think it was a Catalina, that had been made into a circle track car a long time ago...like back in the 70's. Went into the crusher before I could get a good look at it to tell anything about it...but a cool old car... Anyone else see anything interesting in Junkyards lately? Chris

Once you've done it a few times, it is pretty easy...I've done it. You might try to buy a heavy duty clutch, one from a company that sells racing products. Not every heavy duty clutch is super stiff. Considering I can fix darn near anything, I would agree.

Interested Idea, but not something that makes me want to drive a Buick... but then I'm more of a Lotus, Mazda and Porsche guy than a Buick guy.

Vipes and I might be getting the same ride, as I love the MK IV GTI. Thought of both Vipes and DF today...was at the scrap yard, scraping out a bunch of copper and aluminium, and they brought in a nearly undamaged Intrepid, and a mildly damaged but amazingly clean Hardbody Nissan like Vipes originally wanted. This is a scrap metal Yard, not a salvage yard, got to watch as sadly both were lifted up and dumped into the crusher...what a waste!

Andrew, you are giving me the inspiration to give the Mazda Miata some much needed TLC... Thanks for posting this!

Malibu would be a great choice...and let me pipe up and say Fusion would be an excellent choice as well.

Enjoy!

I had a 307 4V in my Olds Cutlass...that's a fine power train...my girlfriend at the time, wife now...and I...drove that thing across part of Canada one summer when we were dating. NOTHING at all wrong with that Olds motivation...

Keep em rolling!

Yes we will..be watching...Sweet Ride!

Other than changing the exhaust...I am pretty much down with it. And did you mean vacuum hoses instead of vacuum tubes...perhaps a 1958 Olds had Vacuum tubes instead of transistors in the radio....

S10 is a darn nice little truck...went out to dinner with a friend of mine tonight that has one....he bought it new in 95 and it still runs like a million bucks... But the Ohio winters have not been kind to it....

I'm glad you got the 4WD...that truck has a nice stance...

Darn...that thing is way too nice to drive through a PA winter.... Now you need a winter beater... Again..congrats....

Awesome pics Vipes...now if I could just get you and Chris to post a few of GTI's. TDI's. and R32's...we would be set!

The covered bridge pic is awesome...

Let me know when you want to replace that 1950 furnace.... Chris

Nice looking truck...but I agree on the price/miles thingie....

That is one of my fav. cars... Saw a blue 70 Cutty with a black vinyl top driving tonight, was sweet.... Awesome pics, Roger!

Bingo! Ding, ding ding...sir...we have a winner. I would agree with you. My wife, both sons, and oldest daughter are all somewhat fiscal conservatives. sometimes as you say socially as well... They all pretty much hate the current republican party, fox news, et al...

Congrats! A much better name than my middle daughters best friends...who are named Lexus and Sienna.... Way to go Roger!

Hope everything works out all right... Chris

...and this is where I loose all respect for the conservative side of things.... REALITY PLEASE!

Synergy green is just way to hot for the Camaro!
