Junkyard Finds

I am hooked on this blog. There are some Hondas in there and at least one Acura (a Vigor) but it's neat to see some of the almost-completely forgotten cars of not-too-long-ago. Anyone remember the Hyundai Scoupe or the Mitsubishi Cordia? They're here, too along with the convoluted vacuum hose routing of the CVCC Civic and probably the only 1986 Excel ANYWHERE.

^ great blog, never knew about the Audi powered US Postal Jeep. Must explain why my mail was always late

When I was younger and had more time I'd walk around junk yards and look at all the different vehicles and their quirky stuff.

Vigors are FUN cars..

Ever heard their engine note with a simple cold air intake?

TAC is an awesome blog. I could get lost in there for hours reading about different cars.

THAT sounds good! I'd never paid attention to the Vigor, but maybe I should have.

Back on topic, I just spent an hour looking at the cars on that blog. I wish I had time to wander through junkyards scoring finds like that.

i love going to junkyards just to look around. to look at a car that was someones pride and joy at one time or to look at a car and wonder what the hell a company was thinking to build a car like that.
