What does an automotive wrecking yard do?

You don’t have to be a charter member of the dumpster diving community to appreciate a wrecking yard. Often called a “junk yard” (which is inaccurate based on what the description implies), junk can be anything; an automobile wrecking yard is just for automobiles and trucks. Some other wrecking yards deal with other vehicles (such as boats, aircraft large building materials etc.) But, being that this is automobile.com - we’ll stick with machines with wheels.
I’m not the only one! Many people have had a moment in their life that forced them to hide a deep rooted desire. Perhaps it was something that you liked or wanted. For me, high school was…
A few months back, I was visiting a friend in Central California and we were having an overpriced (and undercooked) bite to eat near the beach. As we ate, a guy in a mid 90s beefed up SUV bounded over the dunes and proceeded to sink in soft, wet sand about 10 feet away from the water. A moment later (as we tried not to choke on our fish while laughing) a wee little Jeep Patriot came over the same hill, zipped past the wounded moose and zoomed down the beach.
You know how you have that new friend who just moved to your foul-weathered town from a temperate place? This same person wants to know what he should trade his old Corolla in for and wants something cheap, reliable, safe and fun. I hate to drop to the level of saying cute too…
