FF55 3/22/13, With a Friend,Monday

There was wind, fumes and many cars.
Piles, piled up :14 rims.

Free and clear engines, tipped this way and that. 
The mechanics were only disassembling.

A man carried a door, overhead.
One wagon was chock full of twisted tubes.

The map led us to the right year, wrong make.
No gas pedal assembly here !

Izzy...?
Did you visit a junk/salvage yard?
I love those places!!
It sounds that you were less than
enthusiastic about being there. That's
what friends do.
Loved your adventurous 55
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week End!

AH! Give me the days when most everyone drove either Ford or "Chivvy". A few Olds, Buicks, here and there. And the rich Uncle's Caddy! Whoopppeeee! And it didn't matter whether used front tires were bald, or even had a couple embedded screws, if they were "pre-war", ya bought 'em.

Whenever I visited the salvage yard I was told, "You'll find that somewheres out back. Go look." ½ day later, he'd say to me, "YOU still here?" (Both times...heheh)
Another memory brought to me by: IZZY!

I often thought it would be fun to learn to fix cars. Unfortunately we of the female persuasion are often dissuaded from such pursuits.

There's something about a junkyard that leaves me feeling sorry for the cars...as if they were human-ish...I know, I'm weird!

Loved your 55, izzy!

A junkyard is a great place to search for treasure.

A great descriptive poem, and also rather a neat metaphor for the junkyard of life. I wish I could find some good replacement parts!

They have maps at the junk yard? Hope you finally found the "treasure"

I need some car parts right now, but there's no way any junkyard would have them. Too far off brand.
