I have also built a website called http://www.usedautopartsdealers.com this site will help you locate a Auto Salvage Yard in your Zip Code or around your area.. It also gives you some input as to what the Auto Wrecker has and what they deal with.. It will show you who they are Affiliated with as far as State or local businesses. It has been a great tool for people trying to locate a Salvage yard near then for Auto Parts, for there Cars, trucks or vans,suv's..

Some Automotive Facts

Did you know that virtually 99% of all scrap steel generated by Toyota plants is now recycled...

Daimler Chrysler recycles over 186,500 tons of cardboard,paper,plastic,aluminum,wood and steel a year.

GM also retured over 8 tons of old paint not used to vendors for recycling....

Did you also know that after about 7 years at top spot the color silver was been knocked out by White/ White Pearl. Thats what DuPont tells us, But thats in Japan & Mexico right now... They are also saying it a trend setter. But dont forget that Black Metallics and other color effects will increase in popularity so they say...

I find this info very interesting and want to hear from some of you about it...

Thanks and Have a Good Easter and God Bless

New Cars and The Backyard Mechanic

Years ago when the cars were simple to work on. There was what we called THE BACKYARD Mechanics or weekend mechanics.. These guys could remove,replace or repair anything. As a Counterman in those days we would look forward to a Saturday. That day would make up for the whole week. Whether you had a good or bad week that saturday pulled you out.. We would have customers lining up outside for anything from Motors,transmissions to Body parts likes fenders,doors,hoods and whatever else they could fix. You could drive down the blocks and see cars being fixed in backyards or in driveways on ramps or blocked up. Those were the Best days in the Auto Salvage Business. Today with 99% of the cars built with computers you need to be a Computer wizard to try it.. Just look under the hood of most of the cars and its a nightmare !! The engine dont even look like a engine anymore.. The big 3 and so on made it so hard to repair our own cars,That the Backyard and Weekend Mechanic are All gone... The days we could fix and replace body parts are also gone.. This is also killing our business and making it harder for us to sell parts and make a living.. I wish those days to come back !!! Just a little venting Thanks for reading.. If you have anything to add PLEASE do....

Edwards Takes The Auto Club 500 !!!!

Well after sundays wreck fest and rain-out which took out some good cars. Nascar Stops Sundays race at lap 87 and finishes the race monday. Which it was sunny skies and a somewhat dry track.. Here is a Quote from Edwards that was Posted on nascar.com.

"The track was a little bit different," Edwards said of the conditions on Monday. "It was fun to race here in the sun. ... If we have a 55-hour red flag, we're still going to go out there and race as hard as possible. We've all had to wait through rain delays when the anxiety builds up.

"I was lucky that [Johnson] was a little bit loose, because it would have been really, really tough to get by him if he wasn't loose."

I didnt get to see the race and dont want to give my opinion on it. But from what i read and seen i really didnt miss much.... Well after all the Bull we have a new Points Leader goin into this week.. #18 Kyle Busch by 3 points..
Well here is the finsih for the Auto Club 500 at Fontana Speedway...

The Daytona 500 "Who will win ????"

As you all my see or figure out i am a True Blooded Nascar Fan.. And i will always be a Dale Earnhardt Sr. Fan.. He will always be the man and i will always be the fan !!! That day for alot of us was the worst day in Nascar History and for us too. I still to this day miss seeing the Balck 3 coming out of pit road.. I still sometimes loook to see were he is starting... Then it kicks in... Alot has been changed since that day abd i feel Nascar was done a Great Job to this point making the cars safer for the drivers. But i guess we will see what this year brings us all with the new COT Cars. If you watched this passed Sunday Night The BUD SHOOTOUT that was 1 of the Best Races i have seen in a long time.. The banging,Rubbing, pushing,, Thats Racing !!!!! Look like a Saturday Night Short Track Race, But on a Large Scale.... So Lets Get a Pole Going for this Sunday's Daytona 500..

WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN ????
