Is their some law in Aussieland that you cannot get parts off of a smashed car? We have junkyards galore here in the states, kind of a buy at your own risk and knowledge type of thing. Could end up buying a crap part if your not familiar with cars but you could also get something at a steal of a price if you are good with cars.

You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

No, we just have a much smaller population than the USA and a heck of a lot less cars and therefore much less accidents.

We have wreckers here, it is just rare to find such a modern car. Don't get me wrong, it's relatively easy to find cars from the 90's. But you could ring 10 wreckers and not find a Yaris.
