I want more car content like this on youtube.

Aussie lower class represent!

[@justinl2009]

Agreed. There's a lot more to the car community than supercars, tuner cars or racing. This is proof of that. Quirky, weird mundane cars are fantastic.

That crashed Mira in there was mine.. sadly a few days after I sold it to the new owner, someone pulled out in front of him and it was wrecked. It actually did have a rebuilt turbo EFI engine - glad someone saved that. RIP to one of the best nuggets i've had.

[@OrrinWhitley]

As an American car guy I love seeing all of the ordinary cars we didn't get, not just the high end ones. The fact that it's at a junkyard makes it better because junkyard videos are the best.

As someone who rummages in e-waste bins for computers, seeing this video in my feed made me immeasurably happy.

[@user-rj3yk3le3w]

As someone who also rummages in rubbish for working stuff that was thrown away by negligent people, here's my garbage tale. I had a very old pc that also was my first one, and it already didn't work at that moment, I believed that the reason was the graphics card. The thing is that a house I was sometimes visiting had old motherboards and graphics cards on the corridor wall, for decoration (my computer technician friend used to live in there). So I did the most logical thing - scavenged some motherboards for ram and borrowed a card to see if it would launch. And after I tried several cards, it launched! But it was only for a few moments, eventually it completely died and I hung up that original card that was in it on that wall, in honor. Rest in PCI, "#46". You were not the best, but you were the first. Edit: clarified some things

junkyards, there's something magical about them. you either spot something rare or something you always see everyday.

[@BallisticGhast6]

Yet almost nothing you actually needed to find

[@JechtAruon]

Sadly in the states they want almost new part prices for the items and very hard to find a you pull them junkyards with the way insurance is now. I remember once I needed a door latch assembly for a 2000 Honda Accord coupe and they didn’t want to sell just the latch. They wanted me to buy the whole door. I miss the old junkyards I went to as a kid.

[@Mountain-Man-3000]

Always blows me away finding the same car as mine in the junkyard in better shape than mine. WTF.

[@mitko_dsv1999]

Oh, yea. My family sold an Opel Kadett and later an Opel Vectra because they had too much rust, then I go to the junkkyard and there are Kadetts and Vectras without any rust and with perfect interiors. I miss the Kadett, I hope to find and buy one in good shape for cheap.

[@TheUltimateEel]

@@mitko_dsv1999 good luck friend, rust is in their DNA

[@drewzero1]

Last year I tried to pull an alternator from a SAAB that was much nicer than mine, turned out the alternator was the reason it was there.

[@mitko_dsv1999]

@@TheUltimateEel Thanks, I know. It won't be easy finding one without rust, but at least one that isn't falling apart would be nice. On the Kadett we had the rear right shock fell out because the mount rusted out, my grandfather fixed it with two plastic pieces and drove the car another 3 years. But it's still a pretty reliable car even if it reliably rusts as well.

Used to go to one in my area for Saab parts on my 900, same situation as dank here, they only had one, but it was mint and it felt almost sacrilegious to pull parts off of it for my twice crashed boi, course the engine in mine was still in great shape where as I assume that wasn't the case for the scrapyard fellow.

[@Bagel920]

[@cheater00]

This video was absolutely hilarious and you should literally make a series of videos that are exactly like this: you go to a u-pull and look at broken down old cars and make fun of em. That's all. This could totally carry your channel on its own. This video was so hilarious. Just looking at those cars and trying to figure out wtf happened to em is all the fun I need. I was stoked every second of this viddy mate. Please make more. It's super low effort and super lulzy and you could also include some road trip content like, idk, if you stopped at a run-down food joint on the way or something, or if you saw something stupid / funny on the way. You've struck gold here buddy, I know you didn't make the channel with this purpose in mind, but take my advice, make way, way more of those.

My first car was a matiz. I was 17, and I could fit me and 2 mates, a BMX, 3 skateboards and 2 pairs of rollerblades in it, with our bags... perfect for trips to the skatepark. All thanks to the little matiz that could, because thankfully the rear seats could fold down 60/40 split.

My first car was a pt cruiser, and it was an absolute nugget. The engine kept shutting off when I was going 70+ mph to school, and the power steering died a few weeks before I sold it. I think we spent more repairing it than we spent on buying it. In the end, I managed to sell it for $500 when it was worth less than $250, and I'm pretty sure it went straight to a scrapyard

[@zanegandini5350]

Sounds almost verbatim to the one my Dad had. The engine would constantly overheat and the power steering failed. Worst car he ever owned along with his Merkur.

Were some good times when i lived in SA a little over a decade ago. Went to the U-Pull-It up in elizabeth with my father now & again, was always good to be seeing whatever old nuggets were kicking around & whatnot. Even ended up seeing a second generation Toyota Soarer for sale at the front of the place in 2010 or so. Being a wreckers, you can guess it would've been a clunker though. And as for my 1997 Magna, still going strong. That wouldn't be ending up in a wreckers for many years yet for sure.

0:20 The red van is literally the exact make and model of G1 ironhide too. Getting hold of them is actually kind of hard, so that van was very loved.

In the United States there is a racing collective known as 24 Hours of Lemons, yes “Lemons”, where you must assemble a car for $500 or less and then run it around a track as long as possible racking up laps in an endurance sprint that lasts 24 hours. It’s bonkers, there’s some wacky cars every time and it’s kind of amazing, people like to dress up their lemon like it’s going to Robot Wars. Anyways I only bring it up because this place looks like a great location to get started on prep for the event. Oh btw I can’t forget to mention, the winner of the race gets $1500……..in nickels.

6:25 I once had to tow a BMW X5 for some lady because her neighbor did exactly that, but to her door. When the X5 detects an attempted break-in it basically locks everything down, and the only way in without the correct key is to break the window and pull off the inside door panel. Several dealerships have told me that is how they fix them. Still does a lot less damage than cutting a hole through the door.
