You know some of the best memories I have with my boy was crawling around wrecking yards looking for "treasure".
We'd usually start talking about this or that old car as we stumbled across one and the history lessons were cool. He was like a kid in a candy store at the motorcycle junk yard (Randy's old place, TLC).
But I hear ya, that was then, this is now, junkyards are closing, were getting older, just not the same anymore.
