Today's Junkyard Find is one of the very last XJ Cherokees ever made, found in a Wyoming car graveyard last week. The XJ looked like a tough truck, suitable for hairy-chested outdoorsmen, but it drove more like a car and got impressive gas mileage as part of the bargain. Some costly mechanical failure likely doomed this truck.

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. It is produced via a microbial process called denitrification, which converts nitrogen to nitrous oxide and an inert gas called dinitrogen.
