Anyone factor gas/time when driving around looking for scrap?
Not trying to cause drama.....serious question. Do you guys that drive around looking for stuff ever keep track of miles driven/gas used? It just doesn't seem like it pays to drive around looking for stuff once you figure the gas/time spent and some trips you find nothing. I just scrap on the side to make some money for a Camaro project I am working on. I check CL free section and have friends/family give me stuff all the time and keep an eye out for stuff as I am out and about for other things. I wont drive very far for something on CL, but will for family or friends as a service and to keep my name out there and get return calls. I only make a trip to the yard if I have a full trailer(4x8) full just to minimize my time and gas.

I curb shop on my bike, so no gas. Anything i can carry is like profit, minus sometime but thats not a big deal for me
