After the great Ford truck loading fiasco of a couple of weeks ago, I decided that I needed a tilt trailer sooner than later. SO I began searching.

IN the middle of my search mother nature...

Yesterday morning I had nothing to do, but to wait for Steph, to get home from visiting her Dad in Atlanta. And then that changed.


I got a call from a guy who had a lot of scrap metal from a...

I am going to say your car is broken. What kind of car, what year is it, and what part of the country are you in? If it is a few years old and in the rust belt I bet the car is falling apart and the...

He is advertising on a local facebook page as a scrap hauler.

The tail light lenses were gone and the bezels were pretty beat.

I didn't do too bad. I bought all three cars for $400. Scrapped out two for $397.53. Which put the purchase price of the Cuda at $2.47. I sold it for $250. I don't feel cheated at all. The pictures...

Update. A guy who is restoring a Cuda bought it. I dropped it off last night.

SO you want some spare glass. Only glass missing is the windshield and the drivers side vent window. The guy here has not gotten back with me. it is going on Craigslist tomorrow.

We got a call to pick up three cars for scrap. So we rolled out.

I took the s10 and the buick to the crusher and came up $3 short on what I paid for all 3...

Reminds me of the one car we got from a friends ex that had several dozen vibrators in it. Vibrators in the passengers foot well, boxes in the back. He said she would buy one on the way to work each...

Outside of money and tools, what do you find the most of in vehicles?

For me it is watches and pocket knives. I have found dozens of watches, one was a expensive Casio ($500) when it was new. I...

Funny, she says the same thing about me...

My wife is a keeper for sure. She loves to work on cars, doesn't mind getting dirty, and she can cook - which is why I am fat. She is also 17 years younger than me. She picked me out.

At the scrap yard Steph and I had a miscommunication while unloading a partially disassembled Saturn. We were on a hill, the trailer ramps were down, the low end of the car was unstrapped, I told her...

Several years ago we got a dryer from a guy that sounded like a maraca. We got $30 in change out of it.

Our best was a supercharged Nissan Frontier pickup. I was getting it ready to sell ( I got...

how do i delete things.

I didn't wait in line for hours. Phone calls didn't work because one yard said they would take it and then changed their mind when we got there.



I had a couple of yards in Charlotte I dealt...

Trust me. It won't roll far unless it is on a steep slope. Almost anything put on the ground in front of it will stop it.

It would be easy enough to use a rope and your vehicle to roll that thing off the stand to the ground, if it is actually empty. Done it many times before.

Last week I got a job cleaning up an old farm in Charlotte, NC. A large portion of the first load was barbed wire fencing. It had been down for years and was so rusted you could break it with your...

I have had more that one person get bent out of shape when showed up to get a "complete" car and it was striped. I have walked away from more than one when they refused to take less. Several of...

I had a guy get mad at me on FB because I profit from the cars I buy. He was saying that I was cheating the people I buy them from by not paying them what I get out of them. Some people are just...

I have been around for a while, reading posts and hiding in the shadows. I guess it is time to come into the daylight.

I live in the huge, sprawling metropolis of Crouse NC. (AND NO I am not the...

Old hit and miss engines are awesome.

When my wife's 780k miles S10 finally blows up we are going to put it in the flower bed and make it look like it has a busted radiator with water spraying out into a pond.
