Default Spotted : Fallen Komrade







924s Auto

Going to be using its computer and airflow box to upgrade my early stuff hopefully when I have the oil cooler issue resolved. Anyone here know it? Looks like it took a swipe to the side and was totaled by insurance.

Can you actually wander around the wrecking yard? They don't let you do that around here anymore...

I'm sure it has something to do with lawsuits from idiots who get crushed after they crawl under a car propped up with a pile of trash.

There were 2 phonies and 2 other wheels, mismatched. I think they get like 35 a wheel. This yard is an hour drive for me but Its usually worth my while, I try to look for things I can pull and resell to pay for my gas.

That looks like Chris Sokol's (aka "Chris_924s") car.

I'm sure that's it. I do miss strolling around the yard looking for 'treasure'...
