They have a hugely blown up image of that on the wall of the office where they take in junk cars.

It’s so much worse in person.

It won’t be there long.  It’s not a big yard, and they process things quickly.

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 :)

Between the trikes and the kit cars, is there another vehicle that had been bastardized in greater numbers than the Fiero?

I regret to inform you that #3 had happened. A picture was elsewhere in the comments.

Every time I see a newish Mitsubishi, which isn't often, I wonder where in the hell they even got it. The only dealer around here has been gone for a couple years.

Thank you for the education. I’ve had a really good discussion about this with several commenters, and learned a lot. I was clearly taught a very wrong version of history.

Fair enough.  Apology accepted.  I’m genuinely glad to have had this discussion with everybody.  I’ve learned a lot.

Knowledge and understanding of our own history has changed a lot in the last four years. This is a very good thing. I just heard of Juneteenth two days ago, from an email I got from my bank. There were gaps in my knowledge base big enough to drive a truck through. There probably still are.

I made an argument based on what I was taught. I was proven thoroughly wrong, and said as much. You're the one who just wants to be angry and yell at the world. That is classic troll behavior. The Officer Farva moniker fits you well.

I'm a lot older than the average Jalopnik commenter. I'm guessing our schooling was very different.

I do the hardest internal eye roll imaginable, whenever I hear it seriously referred to as, “The War of Northern Agression”.

No worries. Several people have responded to it today.

I may just be a shop teacher, but I’d rather learn than just insist that I’m right no matter what.  I’m glad the practice of teaching history has moved towards reading source documents. The only one I ever saw was the US Constitution.

That’s a really interesting way to look at it.

I’m glad I know better now.  I’m glad that history is now taught using the source documents, instead of a text book that can say whatever.

Yeah, I know that now.

All I can say is that is how she referred to their racial makeup.  This was almost 30 years ago.  

Yes it absolutely is. If you read the rest of the comments in the chain, this is exactly where I learned how wrong the history I had been taught was. You’re responding to something I wrote almost 4-1/2 years ago. I’ve learned a lot since then. The interesting thing is I was raised in a very liberal northern community,
