completely unexpectedly, i ended up going to a junkyard on saturday... and i found myself quite ill-prepared...
i figured while there, i might check out the piles of mazdas, to see if i could find anything salvagable...
two cheap little things i've wanted since i got the car that aren't essential, but bug the hell out of me for not having:
-ashtray
-driver side puddle light cover
i got the ashtray easy, but i was surprised to find EVERY protege i looked in didn't even have puddle lights...
what's up with that?
and stupid me, i totally forgot to look if any of them had 90-91 tallights (i like the old ones more than the new style)
i saw a really good condition '93 black lx on top of a little 323, the hood was open and the engine bay was pristine, everything seemingly intact... it made me sad to see, because it was probably something stupid that got it scrapped.
i moved on to mx3s after i finished looking through the pros... there were three... one was pretty much completely ripped apart, and the other two had the non-recaro style seats...
was it the MX3's black carpet that fit in a protege?
none of the carpets looked like they were really all that salvageable, but for future reference?
i want black carpet, that'd kick ass
i want to be better prepared next time i go, especially since it'll be on my time (i get my license back tomorrow, finally) and not somebody else's...
anything else i should keep my eye out for?
i had a lot of fun rummagine through dead cars, i think this could be a new hobby of sorts... there's like, 5 junkyards all in this one little area... i plan to check them all out soon before winter hits...
