alot of people dont really share that kind of info cause there troll's like that..when and if they do find one they tell a select few then among one of those people is an actual cool guy and post's it here. so its the luck of the draw, i would just go and try scouting who know's you might get lucky! and i highly doubt that you will find an old school in a j yard..mostly second gen's and first gen's.

rotaries in junk yards are becoming harder and harder to find honestly.

i remember a few years ago id regularly run into people i knew at the junk yard and there were tons of FBs.

now im lucky to find 2 a month there.

Maybe less and less people are becoming bad drivers

I highly doubt that though

more likely there are less of the cars on the road.....the people that have them now are like us and will do anything they can to keep them that way.
