    Well, if your gonna scrap, you might as well scrap in style. lol

    One of my buddies that used to haul campers with me changed seats in his newer dualie. He put in a set of Corvette silver anniversary seats, said "if he had to spend 16 hours a day in the truck, at least he was going to do it in style".

    The link doesn't show anything other than some code indicating an error.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    The yard I haul in to was telling me that last week a guy was hauling junk in a Saturn View (his girlfriend's). He had stuff sticking out the windows. Of course he was all messed up on pills. After stopping on the scale to get his empty weight, the secretary gave him the go ahead and he went to take off, driving off the side of the scale (a foot and a half or so drop), smashing into something at the bottom, deploying both airbags. After they picked it up with the forklift, he went looking for something to cut the airbags with so he could see to drive it home. One smart fella....

    I hate these people at yards. They always take too long to unload and never know what they are doing. Wish they would leave it to the pros.

    I'm confused as to what you think driving in makes you look like a moron? A car? Or the bike? What does it matter what kind of vehicle hauls scrap into the yard? I don't think the guy in the OP looks like a moron, if it made him some money good for him for not caring what anyone thought!

    well it is pretty simple if you are trying to strap stuff down on top of your car to scrap and maybe get $10.00

    Then go ahead and waste your time and look like a idiot doing it
