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

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

PT Cruiser, aka the jelly mould car and the Ford Ka, aka the roller skate :D Aussie cars were always a source of fascination for me, I've never seen one in person due to living in the UK, but they always seemed like Australia's answer to crap American land barges, just with a better accent 😂

Man I love the old Mercs, Especially the stationwagon version of the old S-class is super cool. Acutally planning on buying an S-class sedan in the near future.

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. Last time I checked anyways; I hope they’re still doing it that way heh

I had a PT Cruiser for a bit. It initially belonged to my sister in law’s parents, they then gave it to my parents. My parents used it for a bit, then it went unused for awhile, then they gave it to me. I had it for almost a year before I had to junk it because it wasn’t worth fixing

Wow, this junkyard really puts a lot of effort into propping the cars up. Most places I've been to just plonk them on the ground or maybe put them on some wheels/rims/tires laid flat on the ground. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes to a junkyard for parts and spends a significant amount of time just wandering around, marveling at the junk.

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.

This is the best part of the car community, coming from an outsider who knows next to nothing about cars. Seeing these cars gets my imagination going, and I don’t know how the hell Id get these thrashed hunks of steel to do anything

I knew someone with a PT Cruiser. One day it the breaks suddenly wouldn’t work. She couldn’t slow down or stop and was going 45 MPH. Suddenly it switched to 10 MPH and it kept doing that until she was able to crash it into a poll while it was going 10 MPH. No one knows why it did that but I’ll never get in one of those again. *That day was terrifying!*
