Sad Junk Yard tale

Visited a junk yard about 3 weeks ago close to Boston and found a beautiful red 97 unmolested 9000. I collected a few small items for dirt cheap and decided to come back later for a more thorough harvesting when I had more time. Well I visited the yard Saturday and I found out that all 9000's in the yard were crushed....the 97 had mint radio/cd player, most other dash parts, decent leather seats, nice qtr panels, door handles, engine parts galore, window switch panel, etc, etc. Truly a gross shame and waste..... for what $100 in scrap steel? When I went back to the yard's office to pay for the few little bits I got from the still in yard 9-3's, he said take em for free....he saw how disgusted I was with the 9000 crushings. The throw away society we now live in never ceases to amaze me....apparently fewer and fewer people have any mechanical sense/understanding of cars.
I'm gonna quit my office job and set up a shop and change bumper fluid all day long :-)
