You would be 100% correct. He is heading South on US19 just north of Park Blvd. Closest scrap yard to him is off on 30th Ave N at about 27th St. He had about another 2 miles to go. That must be a 3/4 ton Mustang.
I just noticed he is in the turn lane! That lane goes onto Gandy east bound. There is a secret side road that can put him onto 28th St that as a Pro Scrapper he probably knows about. That would be the road I would head for; two lanes. US19 has 9 or 10 where he is.

Yes it was. I took the "fun" way back to Delaware from Pittsburgh.
It's not that Oregon's DOT is spectacularly amazing in every way, but I think this actual DOT email I got some time ago illustrates in some small way why I like it here.
Parked on an impromptu Miata row today.

Holden Sandman...with a Firebird nose?
I did a double take when I saw the price on this tachometer. 5 bucks on clearance. Thought it was a typo but it wasn't. I don't even know if it's any good or how to install this thing but I always wanted a big dumb tachometer so here we are. Receipt in case I end up using it on a challenge car someday.
In reply to slowbird :
Good score.
One tip. Thermal printer receipts are prone to fading. Make a copy.
Edit- forgot to add an image. Some of my son's legos. The really cool stuff is elsewhere.
I want to hang out where Wally hangs out.

I can't be the only wing-nut on the board who zoomed in on it to try to figure out what it is. My first guess was RV, be because of the Hershey bar wing, but the proportions are off.
My guess is it's some variety of Teenie Two, Hummelbird, or other of the variations on the theme of 'small single seat aluminum VW and/or 1/2VW experimental'
edit: woops, forgot the hotlink...
Hummelbirds are tiny.
When exactly was side bed storage invented? Except for that square funny looking truck with slide in tubes, I thought it was very recent.

I'm 90% sure its some form of Zenair CH601. If we could see the rudder, we could be sure since it has a one piece rudder.
I think I have a new favorite picture of my car

Pratt Power!
That is one of the baddest planes ever and the engines were way ahead of anything at that time.

Looks more like it is a dropside bed. Wish those would make a comeback on non-commercial trucks.

I have one of these bikes short the bananna seat up in my attic that I scored from someones garbage on large pickup day. Gonna probably save it to fix it up for my kids when they get big enough. Might have to find or fab a good seat for it though.
In reply to Apexcarver :
I think I had one like the bike at the very back. It was heavy as hell and a 3-speed. If you had it in 1st and stood hard on the pedals to go up a hill, it would shift itself up into 3rd, which was the equivalent of riding into molasses, and usually resulted in stalling out and falling over. I made my father convert it to a single speed coaster brake, and proceeded to burn through back tires doing huge, lurid lockup j-turns.

Then maybe you could reach stuff out of the bed of a modern pickup. Now this is where we should have gone with modern pickups. Vans have moved into the 21st century, more or less, why not trucks?
