After all, a couple days of metal-crunching, rod-throwin' action tend to be rough on a sub-$500 car.

Yurikaze found the Probe- roll cage still intact- at the Ecology yard in Long Beach, and was kind enough to share his photos with us. Make the jump to read Yurikaze's description, plus see the entire gallery (and a bonus gallery of the Come From Behind Probe during happier times). Yes, that's the Vanilla Pride Little Tree air freshener I handed out at the race ! galleryPost('DOTJLeMonsProbe', 3, 'Come From Behind Probe Down On The Junkyard'); I was walking through the Long Beach ecology looking for an engine for my AE86, and came across this Ford Probe with a rollcage sitting at the edge of the import section. Noticing the rollcage...
