JUNK

[paddlenbike]

I've always wanted to start one of these, so tonight is the night. The official JUNK thread. You see it, you post it.

Holy sh!t balls, that one is great. Looks like a stunt car from The Streets of San Francisco. I'll have to upload some of mine.

Ok so this one was cruising downtown and I could here it from around the corner before I could see it. At the stop light it had to be doing 1500 rpm and when it turned green there was a little tire chirp. The rust and smell were pretty bad.

This one was across the street from us while we ate in Oregon. It caught my eye so much I can't even remember what I ate for lunch.

Now these 2 aren't necessarily junk but if they weren't taken care of they would quickly become junk worthy.

Spotted at Ikea. Now if and when I get my beater wagon I'm going to rock it at places like Ikea, the dump, church parking lots and the race track.

Spotted at Lowes. This thing reaked of fuel and awesomeness. Big-big block.

LOL, I knew Mike's phone was full of junk!

[slosurfer]

Oh man, time to take my camera down to the MB waterfront. :laugh: Heck, just walk around my driveway, errr... I mean block. :laugh:

[paddlenbike]

Chris, where's that doosey that has the boat hooked up behind it? LOL

[paddlenbike]

This thing doesn't look quite as bad as it sounded. It was loud enough that it likely had no exhaust AND it had rod knock.

i hope you spill mustard on your shirt today...

[slosurfer]

Chris, where's that doosey that has the boat hooked up behind it? LOL


Oh, it's down on the waterfront or near the waterfront. The trick is finding it when it's hooked up to the boat. :)

Here you go, available if you so desire at the corner used car lot on Santa Rosa Ave. and Hearne in Santa Rosa, Ca.

Hint: Pay particular attention to how the shock hoops and a-arm drop brackets are attached, aside from the fact we all know chrome not only makes you go faster, but that it specifically enhances your ability to torque a bolt and nut down to a frame and have it stay torqued(?) and not tear out of the frame the first time you climb the 5" curb at Nordstrom's or Macy's. :laugh:

Why, it can tow your boat over to the Delta so you can fight for the River Shad's habitat. :D

i guess so, since its big enough for a family of 4 to live in, at least square footage wise.

Hang on Sean, that would rightfully qualify as being complete junk now.

It looks like they're Idaho plates, maybe they use it to turn up potatoes? :rofl:

[Seanz0rz]

yes, but you showed to me, and now im going to have trouble sleeping tonight.

[Obi..]

:ban: ?? This also counts as "Junk"..

^ That almost made me throw up, heck a stock one does that too.

[paddlenbike]

Saw this on Friday. It was smoking like a coal-fired train going up the hills. You can't necessarily see the smoke here but you sure can see the soot residue on the back of the car. :love:

E. St Charles (HWY) and Mountain Ranch Road?? OK, gotta ask, what were you doing in San Andreas that day?
**EDIT that, you're going straight through to Angels and didn't tell me? :flipoff:

That Aztec would be pimp if it had camo or spray painted satin black on it though, ala MAD MAX. ;)

haha, when I started posting pics in this thread I wondered how long it would take for (1) the location of a photo be recognized, 2) for a given car to be recognized, 3) for someone here to be the owner of one of the cars, 4) when someone was going to ask why I'm taking pics while I'm going down the road. To address the last one, at least it goes to show I don't talk on the phone while driving. :hillbill:

Good eye, yes, San Andreas. I grew up in Sonora and have family there, in Oakdale and in Angels Camp.

Caught this coming home from work last Spring; Stockton Blvd off Hwy 50

hrm...

"what do you mean open container officer? are my taps leaking?!"

[paddlenbike]

I wonder how many times the owner has looked in his rearview mirror to find people pouring a beer at the stoplight. :drink:

[4x4mike]

Got some good stuff to add once I get home. We're on Oahu right now and everything is nice and rusty. So rusty there isn't any old 70's American made stuff.

Bullsh!T, pics or it isn't happening! :tongueout:

Head out south through Diamond Head, and up the HWY back north towards the harbor, there's a small section where there are like 4 rusted out S-10's in various forms of "natural reclamation". :D

Then head back to Honolulu and on down to Chuck's Cellar, beast ribeye for 500 miles! :D Tell the manager one of the Overton's sent ya! 150 Kapahula Avenue

**Across the way on the corner of MCCully and Kapiolani Blvd. should still be a really great Curry place also.

*Wanna know where Laird's house is?
~Just a little NorthEast of the Pineapple Maze. :flipoff: :laugh: :tongueout:

We were talking about a trip there versus Mexico just today...back to the thread.

[4x4mike]

I can't post pics to UY from my phone and I forgot my card reader. Maybe I can email a pic to Ken and have him post a pic for proof. We're staying with some friends in Hau'ula so they are locals and we donLt go to the city much although maybe tomorrow.

[4x4mike]

Bullsh!T, pics or it isn't happening! :tongueout:


Here is one from Haleiwa proving I was there :tongueout:

Rusty van. Careful getting in kids.

Island style truck. Most are like this, non-running and rusty.

Loud and tall Suburban, junk.

This thing was just sitting there idleing with no one around belts a-squeak'n.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/mezamichael82/Junk/DSC_0024.jpg

Another squeaker. These guys look like they lived in the parking lot at Sunset beach. I can't imagine what the inside looked/smelled like.

Those barn door VW buses are starting to be worth some money. That 11 window would be worth something, and it looks like there is a 9 window too, which I never knew VW made. :thumbup:

Come on now Dan, you know how VW also makes industrial use diesel engines for rock band busses. :lol:

[paddlenbike]

That's impressive! That bus probably does better on the hills with its own weight plus two VW's than a standalone VW Bus could ever do!

LMAO..that Lexus was out here in Alameda last week but I didn't have my camera with me at the time.

The fuscia paints hilarious and I swear that has more ground clearance than my rig did when I first purchased it! ;)

[4x4mike]

I saw it last week in Sac but didn't have my phone and chalked it up to a loss. That was until yesterday. Good things come to those that wait.

[paddlenbike]

I think that thing has more ground clearance than my lifted 4Runner. Impressive camera work Mike.

I used to respect you. It better be only an investment to restore and profit from, they're worse over time, for every 1 hour of use you sink 10 hours of repair or equivalent $ into..

oh, wait, so it's just a street and beach version of a Toyota Crawler then? :rofl: Lemme know if you need parts, I still have friends in that circle, including Mike Stewart with his fully restored '56, and all the guys from Buggy House.

*How's the front apron, any cracks or wrinkles? Only the one dent there on the upper left?
