First Load of Scrap

Cool story of your scrapping history and your rides.

I don't honestly remember what the first load of scrap I took in paid. I wish I did. I do remember that I was 19, and it was actually my friend's car we were taking in. He had been doing this for years with his dad. He asked me to help him haul in this old car. I drove his little Mazda pickup with him in the car. Something went wrong. Coming to stop sign, I looked in the rear view and noticed he was not stopping. He was headed off to my right, like he was passing me. But we were still connected. Next thing I know, I am being pulled by the runaway car. We ended up in a field. I remember the back end of the truck getting whipped around and thinking it was going to flip over. We didn't give up. We got the car in and got enough money to eat specials at Dairy Queen for a few days and beer money for the weekend.
