Well that's just it, isn't it? I mean, if I had showed up two days before
I could have gotten them (in working condition) for *NOTHING*. It's not
the kind of thing I'd pay serious money for (even if I had it), but I'd
surely grab one if it were going to be junked.

The same junk yard also has a Vector and a distressed N* Horizon.
