Its way more fun searching through junkyards looking for used parts. Anyone can go to NAPA, but it takes a Plugger to drag a toolbox through the mud looking for parts.
While living in SoCal, I would frequent the junkyards –er, auto recycling centers!– to perform “practice” runs on difficult repairs for my car. There were a couple of times that saved me from “surprises” when actually working on my own machine.

Has been a loooooong time since I’ve obtained parts at that store.

That is one of my fondest memories as a child, following daddy through the ‘recycling center’ looking for odds and ends.
