Todd, if you had two cars of the same model but different years could you use body parts off one for the other? Or are they do different?

short answer; maybe. most of the time manufacturers use similar parts across the board on a "generation" of a car model. in common terms..if your vehicle "looks" the same as another year, its likely the parts can be interchanged. a lot of times people who are looking for a simple "upgrade" to a more basic model can find the limited edition or top of the line model of the same variety and switch those better ameneties over to their own car/truck/suv with minimal effort. now sometimes however, the basic exterior "look" remains similar, yet many, many of the internal and drivetrain components, not to mention the electrical(specifically around the early to mid-ninties...most manufacturers went from whats called "obdI" to obdII wiring ) so yea..basic stuff, yes. more advanced stuff...better to know what your looking for.

Dear Todd,
Why do my neighbors frown at me burying bodies in their yard. They have the most acreage and only mow it. I would think they would appreciate the added fertilizer.

I've asked about that. I personally think its either a mistake or someone being hopeful I'll improve.
