My $75 shelter dog needed a $3k surgery not too long after getting her. She might look like a junkyard mutt, but she’s got the receipts to prove she’s as expensive as any inbred Westminster contestant...

This is the most diabolical menagerie of shitheaps in the United States.

Not an autoworker but used to be a Teamster. Our CBA barred wildcat strikes (plantwide strikes taken outside of a contract negotiation period) however, we knew who the “essential workers” in the plant were and made sure that they had enough sick days that if we needed to make a point, 3-5 specific people could call in…

Seeing how dogs don’t shit where they sleep I think we know which one that is

and the Land Rover won’t send spikes of pain into your ears, yipping at 7 a.m. while doing your morning quiet time walk at the dog park. Or will it?

Dog breeders, especially the pure breed show toy breeders know what they got. Those dogs are easily $1500+ dogs. My cousin paid $2500 for his “show” dog and never forgets to mention that he paid $2500 for it. He should’ve just named it $2500. Me on the other hand, got my two dogs for $125 each vaccinations and spay…

Both will cost you more than you think, and both leak all over the place at the most inconvenient times.

Oh, the Holy Grail ZJ is hardly a winter beater. It’s a rust-free machine, and will stay that way!

It was razorbeamteam who discovered it and posted about it on Oppositelock. I asked him where it was located, and it happened to be at the junkyard that is by far the closest one to my home. I had to go see it.  This is actually how I spent the afternoon of my birthday :)

You know a website has built a community when on a hunt through a junkyard TWO separate people ID and document the former vehicle of a site contributor.

Only if he resto-mods it and drops in a modern Skyline drive train

That is a level of attention to detail that is rare in the “junkyard” or “secondary auto parts” markets.

This had to have been a result of the end of WW2 right? Oh man I wish I had charts of where geo-politics infected a country with right/left hand driving.

L&L Auto Parts? I’ve never been there, but I know it’s supposed to be really good. It’s nice because they sort the cars into “projects” and “parts”, so cars that are potentially salvageable don’t get parted out and remain pretty complete. 

Whoever buys it, should stream it’s renovation on Youtube. I’d guarantee you it would easily go viral. Somebody needs to do it. If I knew anything about car restoration, I’d have done it yesterday. 

Ahh, Mountain Home... So named because ??? Imagine my surprise after crossing many mountains to discover upon arrival there is no mountain in Mountain Home. Nor as far as the eye can see, which is a ways... The Mountain has left Home :)

Pro tip: Idaho is home to the junkyard to end all junkyards. It’s in the middle of nowhere somewhere between Boise and Craters of the Moon National Monument. I’ll be damned if I could find it on a map after vacation was over, but it went on forever along the highway.

It likely ended up in Idaho due to an Air Force serviceman getting transferred from Japan to Mountain Home Air Base. The military will ship one vehicle for you at their expense when you transfer.  

Early YJ Wranglers did in fact start around 9k back in late 80s (adjusted for inflation that is around $20k). Of course that is ignoring that they didn’t come with back seats, AC, an FM radio (let alone anything like a cassette player) and other things we pretty much expect nowadays standard.

It’s a fucking Wrangler-fighting Bronco, if it were a rebadged Everest you’d bitch and complain about that too.
