Just depends on when I get to the PnP in relation to when the car gets out. If I am there before the mexicans, the engines are whole. Once the latins arrive, it is a piraña feeding fest
Given the state of some of the cars I see at the U-Pull, more of a piñata feeding fest! Didn't bring the right tools? Got a hammer instead? The majority of my fellow visitors to the yard seem to speak Spanish or Russian. Two ethnic groups that currently really know how to stretch a dollar. Most of my acquaintances will spend _more_ time tracking down a new part, and certainly more money, than they would to make a 1-hour visit to the used parts yard. The fact that their entire _car_ is used doesn't seem to mitigate their distaste for direct recycling. Nothing newer than about 10yo ever gets to ours, unless it's something truly invisible/wretched. Ford and Chevy eek-yawn-o-boxes for example. -- Jim
