I was excited about going to the LKQ Self Serve lot today as well. It stormed the last 2 days, so I knew it would be a muddy mess, but they had a fresh 79 K5 in stock that I was eager to pick over. Got there, paid my $2 and the $2 for a pal I brought with me, only to find a real turd of a K5 with none of the parts I needed/wanted. Honestly, will be the last time I go to a self serve lot. All the vehicles are trashed, no one cares about how they take something off or what they break doing it, it's just really a big waste of time.

Then to top it off, I go back to my shop and try to work some on my old K5. I have the front of the shop locked up, office is dark, my truck parked at the side, pretty obvious we're closed. I left the side door open though, accidentally. Had a person with the balls to walk in it, while I'm under the K5, yells "anyone here, hello, I need an estimate". I guess the M-F 7-5 on the door, the door being locked, the office dark... just means "go around back and rattle the doors, they are probably really open". Then they had the nerve to say I was rude when I told them they'd have to come back.
I locked the door, but heard it rattle two more times during a 2 hour period. Then I had to open the overhead door because it was getting warm in the shop. After having another person walk in, I just locked up and left.

Sorry, but I had to rant as well just a little.

Yeah sounds like you had a bad day too.lol when i was still working at the shop ppl would always do that if i stayed late or worked sunday on my stuff. it's like if i'm there i have to help them or serve them in their eyes. that sucks about the k5 but your right ppl at the u pick are retards! i need door glass so lets rip this mint black door panels off or lets break the glass so this nice seat and carpet get ruined. but i'm really hoping when i go he has decent stuff. need some stuff bad sick of the rig looking like crap.
