yea its a sad day when you can get more for a vehicle by scrapping it out
then selling it with issues..

scrap metal is way up..   the highest its been ever..   guys are trolling the
neighborhoods with trucks and trailers, hauling cars out of peoples backyards
or wherever, and just scrapping them, running or not.   i stopped a guy on
the way to the scrapyard with a '90 audi 200 turbo on his trailer..    the car
ran and drove, but had a leaky PS rack.   he said he can get $700 for it at the
scales just by scrapping it..

amazing.     it took me forever to sell a rust-free '84 sunroof van i had,
for a measly $400 when in reality i could have gotton almost twice that by just
hauling it to the scrapyard where they wouldnt have given a flying fark if the
heads leaked or not.

"but your doing it for the love of the hobby"   meh.
reality bites you in the ass.
