    The 04-09 Prius has two short, round cats, followed by that big resonator. The front pipe on those cars is a "double stick" with a GD3 and an EA6, and they're worth well over $200 for the pair. Newer...

    The Toyota unit looks more like a resonator. Does it have a honeycomb core inside?

    Any markings or numbers on the long one? It resembles a large Saab, but I have never seen one with the hanger brackets like that. The other one is a standard Jeep, $65-70 range.

    Both of my yards that I sell iron to are small, independent feeder yards. Same thing- The usually-massive piles of iron and shred are GONE. It looks quite strange. I'm friends with both owners. Both...

    Municipal/road crew trucks can sometimes be had for a good price, but... Just like farm trucks, check them over very carefully, especially up here in the North. By the time they're ten years old, our...

    Whole vehicle batteries .27/lb. Down from .34 2-3 weeks ago. I made $1.92 profit on my last load of batteries. Better than losing, but definitely my hardest-earned two bucks in recent memory!

    I rarely play the lottery, thanks to my inner cheapskate :) I do occasionally take a stab at it. Someone always eventually wins, and the only way to guarantee it won't be you is to not play.
