Pulling Parts In An American Junkyard Is The Ultimate Day Out 

Dude if they showed up at lkq I'd freak out

25thdrummerboy i was there and it was lol

@@json8426 No you weren't

@@tyler9703 maybe he was there but it is very unlikely

I would have to ask Alex to drive my car

Car throttle fan from Florida here. That'd be pretty wild. But since Florida is literally the size of the UK, it'd be a long shot

that junkyard is 10 minutes from me lol... I was there when the junkyard pulled the miata with the hella jdm headlight into the yard....

That’s why that one guy thought he was hallucinating. ...because of all places, why? Why that particular place? Can’t possibly be them.

That junkyard is what helped me rebuild my 88 Jeep Cherokee and my 89 Jeep Comanche, I lived about 25 minutes away from it between April of 2012 and May of 2020

I know the Lowe’s and exit they took off the I-10 corridor

+A true petrol-head agree

Rather do it in the snow and ice here in chicago

Yeah man. Looked for your Lambo in the yard....OOOOHHHHH! ;)

Tavarish damn I came into post just this, but it makes more sense for you to be posting it :p

Are you in Florida? I'm going there next year, hope your2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is done by then.

Tavarish!!! I know you!!! You're the one who bought Doug demuro's aston Martin!!!

They were in Jax i was there an got a pic witten

As a kid and even as an adult, I've always thought it was like a treasure hunt. You don't know what you're going to find, or if you're even going to find anything, but the thrill is in the hunt...

oh yeaahh :)

This man

i was about to say that

"lou wees"

😂😂

YES FELLOW HUMAN. I TOO SHARE YOUR AMUSEMENT. IT IS GOOD. 😐

why, is it worse then regular?

Vaidas M. Yes it’s a condensed version,, they only really carry the high turnover items.

@@VaidasMaldzius they pretty much only have grocery and. Few basics

Was looking for this comment. Almost made it myself.

That's a grocery store, the one that carries tools and stuff is the supercenter or the regular Wal-Mart.

Alex's Customs also in some ways you can see the life a vehicle lived its quite fun to rummage through recepits and watch the decline it had

+mylesgifford8988 When I was a kid, I remember my parents going to the local junkyard to drop off our wrecked '95 Ford Taurus and my mom coming home with a bunch of stuff she had looted from gloveboxes of cars in the junkyard...

Not in uk 🙁

@@alfiew80 Yeah, UK scrapyards are no good for proper exploring. At my local, there were six cars the last time I visited, in two stacks. They were a Land Rover Discovery Commercial which had clearly been crashed; a Peugeot 205 van covered in moss; an immaculate 2007 Ford Fiesta; a rusted-out VW New Beetle; the bare shell of a Ford Mondeo ST; and another Mondeo being brought in when I arrived. Then again, I picked up some parts from a larger yard in Crewe a few months ago, and they had a massive pile of 90s hatchbacks, then a sprawl of parts ranging from the whole interior of a Daewoo Kalos to the shell of an MG Midget. The problem is that you can't just pull bits off yourself anymore, they do all the work and then sell the bits.

@@bluwusky5167 most scrap yards are gone these days i get all my stuff off fb or ebay.

supergoat they'll make ChrisFix do it

mighty car mods will do it! and fit a 50kw chopped sticker too!

Büdös az alsógatyám

Deboss? Glad to see you here!

it's actually Lowe's. Welcome to English speaking countries xD

Underrated comment?

Lmao same, those places full of e39s

N4S Videos same dude same

N4S Videos I live in Jax

He lives in london

Maciej Pastuszka he's in the us .

Maciej Pastuszka Yes I know I'm from london as well but I was saying that I want English junkyards to be as good as the American junkyards.

JDM VR4 oh yeah 😶😑

Our yards usually do have more selection, find a decent-sized yard and you could spend all day searching

I remember doing the same when me and my dad were restoring a '69 Mustang. The 302 was busted and we looked for a 351C but we couldn't find one. But I'll never forget what else the yard was full of that they'll never be full of again. It was chock full of full and mid-sized Fords with 351-400Ms, 429-460s and we even found a 428.

@James Vickers Are you the guy that met and talk with Car throttle in the junkyard? . I think you should have a youtube channel with content about your car related stuff. That would be nice.

King of the Desert lol

I live in the netherlands and theres a big junkyard within half an hour of driving... but yeah, i get your point

Nothing goes to waste. Virtually all the parts get resued, often being sent overseas.

It’s a shame how rare pull and pick junkyards like these actually are in the US

Where are they rare? Everywhere I have lived there are many in the more populated areas and ever the rural areas usually have a few.

Kevin A I don't know what you're talking about. I've seen junk junkyards in every car dense US city, and the area I'm in now has at least a half dozen junkyards within a hours drive.

Juan Muniz and buy tools that are made from chineseium, the strongest metal, that won’t snap at all

Joseph Woda yup 😂😂

They are in Amarica not China

Capital V and the tools are made in China and sold in America. Like how Porsche makes cars in Germany and brings them to US. What’s the issue here?

But Porsche makes stuff that works

Fastlane Blocker huh thats interesting i didnt know that

try to get off the steering wheel without key.... it is locked... with key no problem....

lol

Phos9 or the steering wheel

Tudor Voicu Vad ca mai sunt si romani:)

Nearly 3m subs!

@@engineergaming4295 well yeah but that comment he posted was 2 years ago dumb bi*ch

TheBaz568 they wanted tools that won't break on them.

Keon R. Personally I have never had a problem with Harbour freight and have found there tools offer incredible value.

Keon R. So they go to Walmart and Lowes like they're any better lol.

Harbor Freight gets a bad rap. For the price, the tools are definitely worth it. If you want something that will never ever break, spend 10x more @ Snap-On. Working on my vehicles is a small part of my daily life, definitely not worth spending thousands of dollars on tools alone.

Elias Sosa buy craftsman tools made in USA lifetime warranty! Harbor Freight is Chinese...

Yad Gakhal nothing, you can transport those no problems as long as they dont have fluids, fuel

Jay G i mean the reaction to them seeing someone bringing these

nuts ! :))

Justice Mott Duuuuuuuuuvalllllll

DUUUUUVAAAAALLLLLLL

King_tazz not in uk

He's British

Not in uk

Daniel Posadas no not really.

Lewis warden lang yeah Ethan is absolutely a car guy, otherwise he wouldn't work at CarThrottle haha He's just pretty good at pretending he isn't

he probably bought it as a joke

A true petrol-head you can be a gear head but have a prius. I would like to have a 4runner but the Prius gets super good gas mileage

He might be a lot like me - wasn't really much of a car guy a few years ago but grew into it pretty quickly (and with Alex as a roommate, you're gonna hear about cars whether you like it or not).

A true petrol-head Because he's not 12 and realizes even with a prius he's more of a car guy than the majority of the Car Throttle fan base.

It is the imperial japanese flag

Branden Prato what junkyard is that? I need manual swap parts. He said it's in Jacksonville?

officialbigboiofdbc Ace pick a part on main Street. Right off of i95

Kanata 86 Same!

This blows my mind because this junkyard is about 10 minutes from me. I was there when they brought that Miata with the hella JDM headlight into the yard. I saw a 99 corolla in the video, gold, that I pulled the blinker off on one side but left the other blinker because it had no plastic housing around it.

AerisM Thats freaking crazy! I live in Winter Park so for me it would of been a decent drive to get there.

Ya Boi no.

No that was in Texas.

This is Ace Pick a part in Jacksonville Florida.

You disgusting pig.

Haha

No lie when I when I learned about sti at school, I thought they were talking about subaru

Uncle T I'm actually 15 and the other kids tell me, that I'm the one who fucks cars just cause I'm a car guy, it kinda pissed me off

Bangs And Pops exactly the same here mate 😂

Sean Beres no he a non car guy

Hayden Ward Because that's a neighborhood walmart, not a supercenter

europe is a Non-car guy area :))

Yeah, walking up to the counter and being handed the part you need immediately is so much worse... not.

Coxy002605. You dont seem to get it....

DrewLSsix Neither do you.

Coxy002605. How do I not get it? The OP said he enjoys self service yards.... so do I. I get it. You dont get it, as per your post. Let me put it this way, some of us enjoy the activity of going to a self service yard, you suggest its better to pay someone else to do the work. Some of us enjoy having sex with our women, would you pay someone else to do that for you also?

Lamke looks in his mid 30s

He's 32

It would be weird if anyone didnt get older

Unfortunately...😞

If he was getting young would be weird

Not true at all, North Americans have it lucky when it comes to cars. Look at Singapore, or Japan. The only thing you might have a point about is emissions testing. Hey a $500 sensor has malfunctioned on your $1000 car, so instead of fixing you scrap it and let all the hazardous chemicals go into the environment, and go out and buy another car. Makes a lot of sense.

Well, I'm not sure how it's done elsewhere, but here in Chicago if the police seizes your car, there's an impound here it gets taken to and you can pay a fee or whatever to get it out. I once had to do totally unrelated work near the railroad behind the impound and as a car guy, I saw things that nearly made me cry. Cars, nice cars, being placed entirely too close to one another, the cars being moved around by a giant forklift with no protection underneath, car alarms going off as the car is being hauled from one end to another... and to think these cars are intended to be returned to their owners?!?!

That is true, but to have a car impounded you have to do something stupid, they don't just come up and impound your car for no reason. DUI, stunt driving, criminal investigation, etc. and that happens everywhere not just in the US. Same idea with repossessions, if you don't pay for your car, the bank will take it from you -- simple as that.

+ReadyToGo you forgot unpaid tickets / violations. that will get you impounded

If you hadn't noticed, the vast majority of the cars in that junkyard were totaled

Or just take the parts to upgrade ur car lol

You still have to buy it from the junkyard and spend the money to fix it lmao
