RE: astronaut position/ junkyard



Unfortunately, I am too tall for the astronaut position in almost any car 
(including Audi's ) and I have to kinda lay out the door to do anything 
under the dash.  Haven't gotten around to crawling under there, but I bet 
that circuit breaker is bad, I'll go get one from the junkyard down the 
street

I'm sure your lack of cars in the junkyard has to do with your being in the 
rust belt.  I supplement my earnings pulling perfectly good cars and parts 
out of junkyards and selling them (in fact I got my 86 Coupe GT Anniversary 
Coupe from one in Virginia, and drove it home 200 miles the night I bought 
it, and it ran for 2 years before I traded it for the laptop I am writing 
this on now, and got my last 87 4KCS from there, just had a bad 
distributor), also the junkyard down the street just got a 85 4KS 150K 
miles, that runs great, paint is shot (but no rust or dents), and one door 
handle is broke (but he has a another for it in another car in his yard), 
and the AC even works; he'll give it to me for $US 550.  If I can scrounge 
that up I think I'll go get it. (It probably isn't going anywhere)

BTW, the people I got my 4KCSQ from are an American/British (alphabetical) 
couple, and they were using the proceeds of the 4KCSQ purchase to ship 
their 83 Coupe GT to England where they will live for a couple of years. 
 It is a left-hand drive red Coupe GT in perfect condition.  If you see 
them, give them a wave for me.
