The company that owns PnP is actually a metal recycler, so that is what their business model is based around.

I can't tell from the picture but do you think the water got up to the intakes on most of these? YOu can see the tops of the cars and some might at least have OK engines if they weren't submerged to the intakes.

Not all of them got flooded unless it got up to the upper terrace. Were the Metros/Swifts on the upper or lower level or mixed between the two?

The upper level is the staging area. the great majority of their stock, all all cars listed for parts, was under water. The area shown with vehicles completely underwater is primarily trucks and vans but it looks like most of the lot was at least up to the windows.

Yes, this works and my GF has seen it. She once asked me "When are we going to eat?" when we were planning on having pizza. My comment was "I want a few more minutes to finish baking the laptop motherboard in the oven and then we can do the pizza." She just looked at me like what????
I've had this same conversation. "Not just yet sweetheart, my headlights are in there."

I just went yesterday, back side of the lot got above the level of the windshields so every motor was below water.

Sherwood Oregon.
It's the most evilly designed junk yard ever constructed. The whole lot, except a small area at the very back, is covered in rocks that are very tiring to walk or pull anything over, and to get from the lot to the store you have to go up a steep slope about 2 stories high. I hate going there, but 75% off was just too good to pass up. Got a few things to play with.

Oh great, a lot full of giant, car-shaped, snow globes.

haha.. my yard is not quite that bad but when it rains the yard turns into a pond that sits for weeks on end.. and I can't work on my cars until it dries up.. it can be a drag.. I wear mud boots, stand in 4 or more inches of water where I park my cars and god forbid I need to lay down or crawl around looking for something I dropped.. ungh.. haha... at least I am not the only one
