Junkyard Owners

Junkyard Owners

I have been looking for some gray interior pieces over the break and today I went to a junkyard and encountered the most disrespectful owner ever. The workers helped me find a nice, gray, totalled 02 corolla. I was going to buy almost everything that wasn't destroyed, even a front and rear bumper but when I got up front the owner was so disrespectful I wanted to kill him. Never before have I dealt with this, and he had a gun behind his counter and he kept his hand not far from it the entire time. I mean, I know he's a red neck, but the hostility was uncalled for. He disrespected his employees (younger white guys) and everyone around him. he quoted me $400 for a complete, used interior with airbags blown in steering wheel and passenger side. the rear door were in below good condition, but everything else was ok. Man, he can keep his crap.

are u a minority? rednecks dont like them very much

its people that call caucasion folks rednecks that gets them all uppety. if i was to say nigger spic or gook it would infuriate said race as well. now, im not upset nor do i care that you folks said redneck, because i say nigger spic and gook. im just letting you know that thats why some folks are hostile. either that or they are simply ignorant.

big difference.... REDNECKS refers to a specific type of caucasian, what type of black person are people referring to when they say nigger?

well, not the hard working business type. think..... boys in the hood, menace II society, tales from the hood, most spike lee "joints"
think ghetto, maybe black folks on assisted living that drive 800 dollar caddys with 5000 dollar wheels
niggers or niggas.... its all the same it seems

didnt you know that profiling isnt polite?

ah, so pretty much any dark skinned person that fits into the hip hop "persona" regardless of intelligence level or actual personality........guess im in that group then

stereotypes piss me off and yes profiling isnt polite

bro i play it an eye for an eye. i hope that makes sense to you

also, i was very specific in answering you. i never said any dark skinned person into hip hop. have you ever seen those movies? or been in a ghetto?


and prodigy. man, i feel you. ive been in that situation many times and i just turn out and walk away..... if it isnt something i desperately need im perfectly happy going somewhere else

good to hear, more people should do things that way...on a positive note that old school way of thinking is slowly fading away as people become more open minded, so theres hope yet.....

and yes i have seen those films, and pretty much grew up in the inner city

hey for $400 u shoulda bought it, people at the junk yard here in ny would kick my ass out if offered them $400 for a complete interior. and then kick me out of course..

well around here $400 would get a lot more than just that

ehh


going by your description of how he behaved...that's how ALL junkyard owners are. they don't call them junkyard dogs(not referring to the guard dogs) for nothing...

I wanted parts to convert my car to power windows and locks, but this one junkyard said they'd only sell the entire door, not just the parts I needed. Then they had the nerve to try to charge me $100 EACH for the doors.... I told them no thanks.

what yard did you go to?

yeh thats how all yards in ny are, you cant just buy one little peice, cuz they sell the entire thing, i asked to buy just the glove compartment, and the guy wanted me to buy the entire dashboard, i was wtf, no thanks

This is in Atlanta, where I go to school. It's a decent junkyard for 93-97 parts, but they just charge an arm and a leg. It's on the corner of Metropolitan and Abernathy in SW Atlanta if anyone is interested.

Edited by admin: Man...lets try not start a flame war, the topic was settled. and this isnt the post to be discussing that here

the dash has had the airbag blown... 400$ for that??? cmon now, i know you guys don't think thats a good deal. plus, some pieces have moss build up on it, i am thinking 150 MAX, my int. looks great as it is. this purchase would need a lot of attention to the door panels and the dash is all but unusable. all the money for the dash is in the airbag is it not? and its gray, its no S, and its manual.
