Re: Official junkyard score thread!
I'm beginning to think that 95.56742% of all american bumps are located on the West Coast. And somehow in Cali have Survived Boxer and Fienstiens' clunker bills(those Ladies have pushed that bill through atleast twice) it's the only way cali could still muster 5-10 bumps in the yards every couple of months or so. I wonder how many are/were still in use as company vehicles?

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Re: Official junkyard score thread!
around here you still see bumps at the pull a parts yards. Although you see 3 times as many dents. There was a fair looking swb at the scrapyard I pulled some stuff off of.

Re: Official junkyard score thread!
If i don't see at least 10 bumps and 10 dents at my local yard then something is wrong
