Normally, seeing a video'd junkyard crammed full of hulks of vintage Citroëns and Fiat 600s makes me want to hop on a plane and save each and every one of them like some soft-hearted kook at the animal shelter. That's generally not possible, but what these folks over at Lola Madrid are doing with these basket-case…

Just north of Los Angeles is Sun Valley, a parched, dusty wasteland of scrapyards of all sorts. I love it there. There's some great automotive and aerospace salvage yards, and if you don't mind dust and a hateful, determined sun, you can make some great finds.

Our favorite Dutch redneck junkyard owners are back, and this time they're going to play dominoes with a couple of old cars. It's okay, they're using Volvos. They'll be fine!

Cars are death traps; that's what makes car crashes so horrific and so fascinating. Watch a guy in a junked Volvo wagon crash as fast as he can into a little Fiat Cinquecento.

It's hard to believe one of the most valuable Mercedes in the world is sitting neglected in a building in South Central Los Angeles, but that's exactly where writer Michael Mraz located Rudi Caracciola's 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K.

For years if you needed a part or just wanted to wander through a field of aging Volkswagens, Sunray Bugs in Dade City, Florida was the place to go. Now the owner has until February to finish clearing what's left of the 800 or so old VWs left on his property.
