Up here, there's a local wrecking yard that charges you just to enter the place. When I first moved up to MA from TX, I decided to check it out... I asked them what kind of parts they had. Answer-- "all kinds." I asked them about 67-72 Chevy trucks. Answer-- "very back, near the fence." So I shelled out my money and went in, not looking for anything in particular.
After the standard 'over the river and through the woods' hike I came across a row of 73+ Chevy truck stuff. No 67-72 in sight. I asked one of the yard monkeys and he just laughed. Anyway, I decided to get some tinkering stuff so I pulled some assorted sized grommets from a few cars and yanked the rubber boot from the door jambs off a Caddy for possible use on my truck. When I got back to the counter, the guy tried to charge me $10 for the handful of rubber grommets. I started heading back out to the yard when he asked me where I was going. I told him I was going to put them back in the cars I found them in. He moaned and groaned then told me I could "just keep them..." Wow, ten cents worth of grommets, and all it cost me was my entry fee.
I've rambled long enough
