His fathers death did visibly shake Earnhardt Jr's demeanor although he did race at Rockingham the following weekend. Eerily enough, he finished at the 43rd place after a wreck that was very similar to the one that his father had perished in the week earlier.

I do not know how those wipers ever got replaced. But I think about it every time I replace my own. I remember once replacing them while a co-worker friend looked on and it went quickly, and he said I could work at a service station, in a tone that revealed admiration. This was a guy who would have fit it at that auto parts store, he could speak that dialect, saved only for men who can work on cars. I felt my Dad would have been proud at that moment, restoring our collective manhood.

So go ahead and look for used car parts that will bring your favorite car back to life. It does not matter how big or how small the part is, salvage yards make every effort to salvage as much as they can from every car that is parked in their yard to be recycled.
