Yeah, the thing that tends to send cars to the junker around here is rust. In lieu of that, I'd probably still have my 240Z. Whenever I see West Coast junk yards, it ticks me off when the cars haven't been in a wreck as there's no rust, so little reason in my mind for them to even be there. What new car or risky used car purchase is going to be cheaper than a mechanical fix on one of these old tanks. Sure, some people can't afford to risk a breakdown, but they still make perfect cars for 1st timers or low mileage drivers. Look at the Cubans for ingenuity on keeping old rigs going. Maybe that's extreme, but there's got to be a medium between that and our relentless consumerism.

Yeah, sorry about that. Doesn't take much to get me going like a more coherent Charlie Sheen. They do look similar to their Maxima contemporaries (which rotted away much worse than the Legacy, but not as bad as the 2 subsequent generations of Maxima, each worse than the preceding).

Ha, you'd hate the junkyard in Spokane, I just pulled some door handles off a 94 NA wagon that was in a very minor fender bender in the front, the rest of the car was in pretty good shape, body, interior, and all
