I just got some auto lockout tools (inflatable wedge, probe and prod system, under window tool, auto sleeves, and an auto pick set from lockpicks.com) and am planning on going to the junkyard this weekend to practice. I was wondering if there are any certain cars I should look for in particular or if there are certain models I should spend more time on. Thanks for your time! :D

I know that you're not directly asking questions about picking automotive locks, per se... but it'll be awfully hard for someone to answer that question meaningfully without straying into topics that are reserved for the "Advanced" forums:
