Default Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds

I bought a Datsun 280Z shortblock from a guy who was selling all sorts of Z parts in our local paper. When I went of to his "place in the woods" I couldn't believe what I saw. He had maybe 20 engines, and pile of transmissions in a small barn. The other out buildings were full of interior parts. In his side yard there had to be 15 complete rear, and front suspensions from various Z car models. Up against the house there was three dirty Z cars with tags on them from other states! The best part was the piles of cut up cars in the yard. He would take the good stuff out of a car then cut it up into little chuncks that one guy could handle. I mean he had mountains of cut up Z's man! Well about six months later there was a story about him with pics of his "yard." What he was doing was going out with his old tow truck and just hooking up to Z cars in parking lots and crap and dragging them home to cut up. He tried to recycle the cut up bodies at his local scrap yard. The dumb ass left all the tags in the shit he was recycling ! Well the scrap yard Boss thought that the guy was up to something so he put the Cops onto him. I guess that maybe he went to jail for Grand Theift Auto....LOL, and hehehehehe!

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
