    It might boil down to the most common question on this forum, "Is it worth it to break down ?????" Individuals determine their knowledge, experience, resources, and time in all their decisions. For a lot of people the opportunity cost is not worth messing with scrap. Example although extreme: It is a bad investment for Bill Gates to stop to pick up a $ 100.00 because he makes $ 114.16 per second. In comparison as a scrapper it is worth my time to bend down and pick up a penny.

    Give back more to this world than we take.
