    I stumbled across your channel 2 days ago and I've been watching nonstop. I have to say this, though. Watching you guys live the life I wish I had built for myself (career wise) is bitter sweet. I didn't realize until too late that running / operating a salvage operation like you do is what I wanted to do. I'm almost 50 y.o. and while I'm blessed in other ways, life had other plans for me. I wish I had thought ahead enough when I was younger and had options, you know? You guys are blessed, even if you don't realize it yet. Keep up the good work. If I had any constructive criticism to offer it'd be... I'd like to see some 4x4 trucks. I know you're heading into exotics but the diesel 4x4 market is crazy. Maybe not from a parts perspective, I don't know but maybe throw in a 4x4 build someday? Someone should teach Carrington that carburetors aren't scary too. Appreciate you guys, sincerely.
    -Jeff
    Ps: when looking at a V8, If the center two exhaust ports are close together and the first & fourth are spaced (like this: . .. . ) good chance it's a GM small block.

      I do have an idea for a future rebuild, and it’s not a car, but it’s also not a 4x4… maybe towards the end of the year!

    I worked with Copart for a while back in the day. I always noticed Mercedes and BMW's that looked perfect being totaled by the insurance companies. It has to do with the depreciation is what I was told. I actually picked up an old C280 for $800. It ran just fine. It did need a new radiator and some hoses, that was it. Had it for 3 years and then sold it for $2500.

    The red 911 is a 964. 3.6 twin spark engine on 16” Cup wheels. Yes, they did make an auto (called a Tiptronic). BTW the 964 is the model used to create the Singer. The Black Targa is a G Body car, so poss a 3.2 or 3.0 motor. Later ones had the G50 five speed box. Both are money pits, but the 964 would be worth saving.

Plus who doesn’t love a Porsche 911. I am very interested in seeing how your Turbo turns out. A brilliant car, but unfortunately not an Aircooled Porsche. Best wishes from England 👍

    There’s parts that I require from you guys for my GTO but you guys don’t keep those items.
    I’m looking for a low mileage differential with upgraded half shafts
    I’m also looking for the underbody shield that goes underneath the trunk that is not broken or missing the flap. I’m looking for the windshield wiper arm covers as well. They are specific to the right and left windshield wiper. I’m also looking for the passenger side trim panel that goes on the seat. It’s the one that has the seat Controls attached to it. I don’t really need the controls just the cover since mine broke.
    Even though it breaks my heart each time I see a GTO being crushed.
    Although that makes me realize my GTO will be worth more money in the future.
    I’m also looking for the C7 ZO6 axle back or the C7 ZR1 full exhaust.

    - Yeeeeeeeeha. You look good in the cowboy type hat; not me.
    - Only in TX would you see a huge condo/apartment complex overlooking the LARGEST salvage yard I have ever seen in my life.
    - Personal values for life in TX. #1: living across the street in a sea of sand with wrecked cars and trucks. Go texas (NO capital T for the obvious reason...If you don't know why the "t" you probably live there). I haven't had lunch, perhaps ME Bad.
    Last video I saw I left a note what you can call a Porsche (pronounce the e. or Porsch with no e sound). At 7:47 seconds you said Chevy and that is why you can call a Porsche a Porsch. A friendly connection to the Brand Porsche. Like I said calling my friend Robert Bob...we are close friends. I'll move on now.
    -Rollsly - very creative!!!!!!!!!!!! . BUT I would not call the interior TAN, it is BUTTER
    - Tesla. You said "they are disgustingly fast" Proof. I race hillclimbs in the Pacific NW with my '86 P-car and the King of the Hill (fastest car of the day driven by a man) all the time is a Tesla. We jokingly call it a giant cell phone on its side. The driver is a quiet, almost meek guy, but the front of the car can hardly hold his big balls. I saw him lose the car on a tight turn going beyond too fast and he corrected without backing off on the gas and kept going. What an outrageous "cowboy". Having said that I am with Mario Andretti when he (I think) said something like " when there are no more gas engines I want to be dead." Like have sex with a hot woman who can't make any sounds.
    Red Porsche
    To your question about RUST: It is a big problem with the older ones as they had different corrosion techniques for the body, also some years had special areas of leaking.
    To your question: hard top vs Targa. Hard tops = more $$$. Targa tops always leak until you find a pro that knows how to stop that kind of action. '89 has the G-50 transmission, which is much better than the years before
    To your point about the black Porsche: My thinking is it would be a fine car to restore if you knew how to replace parts.
    You ask whether or not houndstooth upholstery. Hell no, STUPID looking. A fad frenzy over this kind of stupid, stupid looking combo of colors and patterns...STUPID!!
    - G-body series 1973-1989 best fender look, no fried eggs
    - 993- 1990-1994 3.6L, 5 speed (crappy automatic) still has the great designed front fender/headlight maintaining the good design of the past with 80% upgrades including 3.6L engine.
    - 996 this generation dropped the great fender/headlight for the fried eggs look -ICK!!
    - Macan sucks like the Panamara
    That's enough geeking. Sorry to all of the non-loving P-car people.
    Swapping engines. I am surprised you didn't say an LS engine. YES to upgrade. The 997 GT3 with the 6 speed is my dream car. If I had extra money I would sell the love of my life RestoMod-Outlaw for it. Power, shifting, looks. YES!!!
    - Yes more videos.
    - I can probably see 3 more and then I think that is all I need and will move on but you have so much other stuff I will be around "Kicking your tires" for a while.
    - Sorry for the long and WIDE comments but it can't be helped...I have too much wiring in my head; perhaps

    Coupe’s (especially without sunroof) are always more expensive than cabriolet or targas in the Porsche world.

      That makes sense, it seems that way in most of the performance car world

    A lot of IAAI videos of the running engines are fake. Just look at a few Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche 911 run videos and you'll notice the wrong sound. Also I've personally blasted them on IG for listing a Bentley that wasn't wrecked as an offsite sale that was actually wrecked and at a Copart lot.

    If I wasn’t living with chronic Lyme disease I could do that. For several years as a side hustle I was parting out riding mowers. I was getting them sometimes free and other times paying up to $100 each. I honestly didn’t make much money doing that when I considered the rented storage space I did it in. The only people making reasonable money doing it focus on parting out John Deere’s and or commercial mowers. Looking back I think that our throw away society is being wasteful with how cheap so many products are made. With cheaply built products the turnover of each type of product is faster. Then look at all of the shipping costs, recycling and trash and landfill costs.
