This Jag XJS had pretty worn-our interior, to say the least.
Had kind of an awful Saturday in a variety of ways, so I went back out to the junkyard because what better way to cool off and reflect on life than to go walk around hundreds of mostly-dead cars?
Cadillac Eldorado Coupe.
Some weird old Winnebago.
Spotsylvania County Sheriff Crown Vic.
Alexandria Cab Crown Vic.
Nissan 300ZX.
Pontiac Sunfire, in decent condition.
Honda Prelude.
Volvo wagon. This made me sad.
Another Eldorado, though of a different gen.
Some big old camper I couldn’t get to.
Busted-up VW bug.
Another Firebird.
Porsche 944.
Ford Taurus wagon. One of the few car I saw with most of the engine intact.
Old BMW.
Toyota Previa. This was being actively salvaged as I walked by it.
Saturn S-Series sedan in a delightful shade of teal.
Volvo 245DL. This made me angry and sad at the same time.
3rd-gen Celica.
Another rather-clean Taurus wagon.
Olds Cutlass Ciera. Didn’t seem to be missing much.
This might’ve been a Toyota Tercel Coupe. Couldn’t tell.
Geo Prizm. The first Geo I’ve laid eyes on in roughly three years.
Ford Escort wagon.
Back of the Prizm. Considered grabbing the badges but decided not to.
Fairly clean Mazda 626.
What I assume was an Acura Legend coupe
Fittingly-tipped PT Cruiser. One of roughly 20 I saw yesterday.
Big old Winnebago.
Cadillac Seville.
Early-model Saturn S-series Coupe.
With pop ups.
The rusting shell of a Datsun 280Z.
Honda Insight.
Third-gen Ford Thunderbird. This made me extraordinarily sad.
Front of the Datsun.
Back of the T-bird and the front of something I couldn’t tell the identity of. Maybe a Chevelle?
Subaru Loyale.
Ford Contour.
Front of the Loyale.
Chevy Corvair Monza being reclaimed by nature. This also made me sad.
245 again.
Plymouth Breeze.
What was once a Saab 9-5 Convertible, the only Saab I don’t really like.
Fourth-gen Camaro.
Older Crown Vic.
They’d somehow gone in and moved the Olds, Merc wagon, as “Caprice SS” I saw a week ago. Now, they’re in this extraordinarily safe position.
Held on by a tire. Yep, totally safe.
Finally, this Explorer had a Honda tow hitch cover, which confused me.

That car by the T-Bird is indeed a Chevelle!

Isn’t the black Ford wagon an Escort rather than a Taurus?
Anyway cool pics.

That most certainly is a Tercel coupe.

The 300ZX really has a sad face, too. I believe the blue Celica is a 2nd gen (unless my mind is really going). I think the Tercel was actually badged “Corolla Tercel” back then. The haphazardly parked Winnebago is a LeSharo - these were quite the thing in the 80s. The yellow Seville would have been quite elegant when new. Too bad about the bullet ‘Bird, but a lot of them out there are like that.

Today I learned the New Beetle has plastic fenders.

Yep, the LeSharo - the only version of the Renault Trafic that ever made it over here.
AM3R, lost another burner
