yes, they charge you $75 to haul it off, and they haul it right to the scrap
metal place and get another $100 for it after they drive off the scales. maybe
even more if they throw a few old refrigerators and washing machines in it to
add to the weight..  so they made $175+ off your carcass right there :<)

there are guys with POS beat up old tow trucks trolling the countryside
looking for derelict cars sitting in peoples backyards... if they tow 5 cars a day,
they can make $1000 a day!  not bad, huh?
