    Wait... wasn't this thread about scrap addiction or did I miss the context of this message?
    SCRAP WHAT YOU DRIVE....DRIVE WHAT YOU SCRAP.... I feel a tattoo or something coming on... for someone else of course.

    It's 2X4 extended cab. Most are 6000GW. Mine is 10000. Heavy duty frame. Made to pull heavy payloads.

    I also scrap dogfood cans. Like 24 or more a day. My mother in law rescues dogs, and when we feed,(usually me and/or my wife) the cans are put into 250 gallon water tubs with tops cut off. When they get full, we back up and load them in the truck. Sometimes we crush them, if we don't have anything heavy. It usually just pays the gas, but it keeps them out of the ground, and keeps her mom from paying extra trash

    at times im like a drug addict-- when im walking to the mosque, i will be scanning the pavement & surrounding area for any metal...

    i often see drug addicts doing the same thing as im walking along- they look at me & i can see them thinking:
    "this guy doesnt look like a druggie but u never can tell for sure these days"....

    I can't walk by a trash can and not look in, I see a penny I only pick it up if it looks like a 84 or older, I might forget to grab the keys but never the magnet, royobi is a name brand, and almost everything I see I start analysing what's in it

    No I am not addicted.
