Wreckin' Yard Blues.....

[sixnine]

What's happened to the wreckin' yard business? I remember as a kid going with my dad on the weekends to the local junkyards and climbing all over cars and trucks looking for parts we needed and even some we didn't. The junkyard was like a treasure trove. Every trip, I'd see something different and cool. Needless to say, I haven't been in a while, but thought I'd go this weekend and look around for a couple of things I'm needing. So I call a few of the yards in my area, and it seems that NONE of the junkyards let you loose anymore. If it isn't in their computer or behind their counter, you can't get it. Which sucks because I've pulled parts before that even the owner didn't know they had. And besides, "just looking" is the biggest part of the fun. What gives!? Do any of you have this problem? Heck, I'd even pay 10 or 15 bucks and sign a waiver if I could just climb around the yard and check things out. Times are definitely a changin'!
