    I sold my old 1980 F150 back in 2017. Started to regret it not long after. Bought a 1990 F350 in 2019 to fill the void, but not the same. I knew the F150 was parted out over the years, but I ended up finding a listing on Marketplace for the passenger door a few months ago. It turns out the guy who bought the truck from me still had the door. I brought it back home and although he had stripped it down, I was able to find all of the trim and other parts to put it back together. It's now hanging in my shop as a memory of the truck that once was mine, and still kind of is.

    my first car, M/T 1998 3000gt sl from a church friend, drove 800 miles to my college. About a month in, I crashed going for a joyride with my friend (still friends). car landed upside down and thankfully no one was badly injured. Road conditions were not ideal as it was dusty at this one corner, causing oversteer. Ultimately, I was definitely at fault for going too fast. A few days later, had to get my belongings, where it was at a lot with other totaled cars. Something I will never forget. I fell in love with the 3k platform that I now got a M/T 92 sl going strong as a project!

    Ive watched so many of your junkyard and auction videos, and part of the fun is speculating along with you about a given car's possible history based on the evidence the car shows. So it's def kind of surreal to see you looking at the shell of a car you know so intimately and being able to explain everything about it basically

    I had to let my 09 jeep rubicon 2dr go late last year, replaced the motor and then it snapped 2 timing chains. I couldn't afford to keep a time bomb as a daily. I had it for 6 years and moved cross country with it. Maybe she was angry about not being on the trails in az anymore. Lol. I know for sure it went to auction, hopefully to a good owner that will build it up and wheel it till the axles pop. Id hate to see it in the scrap yard.

    Had a 84 Honda Accord 5sp. I tried to run out of gas in that thing. I was probably your age at the time. Destroyed the engine in the winter of 92(?) trying to get to work in a blizzard. Ran over something and it put a hole in the oil pan. It was either the car or ME. Car lost...Was going to rebuild. My uncle was supposed to get me an engine. It was the 1st car I installed a clutch in by myself. Man I hated letting that car go. They didn't give you jack for a vehicle then. $100? $75?. Saw it at the yard because I used to frequent them younger. Haven't bought a Honda since...never as good as the first one.

    I had to send my first car, a V6 2007 charger, to the scrap yard because the motor blew in it, 10k after getting the car, but those 10k miles are probably the reason I can drive my Mustang so well, as I taught myself how to powerslide in the rain with it and got really good at controlling oversteer, motor likely blew because I beat on it non stop and didn't even let the engine warm up first (high school me was pretty dumb) but I learned to let the motor warm up before doing any spirited driving even if I had to learn it the hard way, the Mustang is treated much nicer because of it, it was a good car to learn how RWD handled before stepping into something with low end torque, and it'll always have a special place in my heart because of it, even if it has long been parted out and crushed

    I sold my first car in july of 2023 and definitely shed a tear on selling it off to someone else. Also felt a little saddened to find out it was getting parted out and wrecked early in 2024. Big shame but in the end that's the fate of every car. Still sometimes miss that car but I feel like that will probably always be the case considering it was my first car

      @raysb240sx 16 дней назад

      @ in my case I used an RSX-S engine harness and the connector for the crank sensor is different from the K24. You could de-pin the connection in the harness and move the wires to the correct order, or just buy an oem k20 crank sensor which are pricey. Not sure if it would be the same issue with and aftermarket engine harness.

    Nah. letting go in this case just shows ignorance/indifference. You didn't actually care. If it was stolen, it's still technically yours. You can take it right out of their hands and just add back the EXTREMELY FEW missing parts. Were the wheels really that important that you can't add new ones? Or was it some 1 of 1 distributor bespoke to your car?
    Like, bruh, it's full. It's not missing any major component. Goofy ahh thought process. Especially that it's a rally car and doesn't even need to be registered.
