Poor Corvette...

If you cover up the spoiler and wheels from the rear angle you can see what was ruined, like a juggalo removing his face paint

(Also wth are those headlight guard things, seems more like some 4wheeler mod?)

I may have posted this a while ago but here is some poo poo I think is horrible car poo poo:

Subaru, Porsche, or whatever with horizontally opposed engine and loud exhaust system. They all sound like they're running on half their cylinders and can't decide which ones.

Sooo..... Yeah, sounds awful.

Technically terrible car stuff: the unequal length cheap and nasty headers that people stick on boxer 'performance' exhausts.

Went junk yarding with some friends today. We got to the end of the yard and this was sitting there.



Like, what the gently caress? Who junks a Vanagon? And it was 90% intact, all the glass except the passenger back panel and the interior, while dirty, was almost entirely there. Engine looked untouched as well (probably why it was in the yard). The only thing we could see missing were the wheels.

Edit: Oh and the rear door handle was broken.

Chinese "Bugattis". Not sure what the donor is.

edit: drat, they're actually from the factory like that, the Shandong Qilu Fengde P8. Electric, awd, 3.5 horsepower, 150km range. They make an "Audi R8" and a "Gallardo" as well.

Old poo poo sounds better than new poo poo. It's also helped by manual boxes, dsg stuff sounds crap due to the lack of gap between an engine going BWAAAAAARP.

The redditor who posted that says it was spotted heading soutbound in New Mexico towards the border. I guess there's a big Mexican resale market for yard sale stuff? A few people commenting that they live in border towns and when they advertise a yard sale on CL or in the pennysaver, sometimes a family or a truck like that will come up and buy literally everything to most likely resell it in a store.

Huh, didn't know that.

I see this sort of thing a lot in Austin, especially near I-35. They'll cruise around on weekends looking for junk and they're everywhere during our bulk collection weeks.

I also saw some really crazy poo poo like this on I-10 between Houston and LA, especially near El Paso and other border towns.

I see a fair number of scrapper trucks heading southbound from Phoenix all the time, but never packed to that level. Close, sometimes, but that's still the record. I also see a lot of cars towing other vehicles with a big, neon-pink "IN TOW" written on the back window of the towed vehicle literally every time I'm on I-10 south of Phoenix.

One of the highest selling oreillys is right before a major border checkpoint into mexico. They do around $8m in sales a year,. Mostly to people coming over the border to buy parts since they are much cheaper here. Some are parts runners for shops, some are resellers, some are just average joes. I'd imagine its similar for furniture and the like.

I think the craziest thing I saw on I-10 was the Uhaul/box trucks loaded with cars inside of their boxes.

The dumbest thing I've seen on 35 in recent memory was a person in a Ford Explorer heading north, that either had cut rear springs or was running a poo poo load of drugs or other things. The rear end was bottoming out and the front end was super twitchy. I did not want to be anywhere around them.

Yes, I would expect the wheels to fold under the body with a loud pop and Tetris music playing as the entire thing crashes closer to the ground.
