Not to kick ya when you're down or anything but I'm kind of confused about
the whole operation. I recently had two junkers hauled off and the yard not
only came to get them but paid me $100 each for them. I suspect they
underpaid me given the current price of metal but the convenience was
probably worth it.

Cya,
Robert
