    I saw the potential , don't worry. Anything that sits for 10 years in a field half sunk in the ground is not usually salvageable. Never thought gas could smell that bad.

    The dodge doesn't like hauling the trailer very well lol.As long as it last about 6 months or so it will be all good i hope.
    I buy at auctions went and inspected cars the other day and when i got home today the converter on the taurus was a aftermarket i couldn't tell until i was under there.So really i lost my ass on the taurus but overall i should clear i am hoping $200 atleast.

    Focker-
    That Taurus should have (2) "Low Standards" on it. Maybe they only replaced 1? Crossing fingers for ya. They net $40 a piece here.. Maybe there is still $40 tucked in there.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Thanks.I inspected them the other day i seen the converter under there kind of hard to get down really good on my wrist still.But as long as i make some kind of money i am happy.I am wanting to start doing about 10 per week steadily and then get a shop and do 15 or more a week.I hope my plan works out.if it does then i should be doing it in about 6 months.Trying to wait until the first of the year and see how everything has gone up until that point.

    I hauled in 2 windstar vans today.Total gross was 17,960.
    But i am kicking myself for buying over the interent and not going to the auction.One of the vans had 2 aftermarket cats on it dammit.
    Also the trailer need to be about 1-2 ft longer it was tight lol.

    Focker-
    I sort of faded away for a few weeks from here. Good on with your scores. My last 2 have also been Windstars- I love those turds- 3800 lbs each. I'm actually hunting them specifically. Although I only have a 16 footer so I have to do em 1 at a time! Congrats on your scores- seems as if you are working that 2 car hauler well! Glad you did better than you anticipated on the Taurus!!

    yeah the other day i was hauling in my load of wheels,conveters,batts and alts and had a blowout screwed up the whole side of my driver side of the bed.Luckily i had a spare but climbing out of the truck i fell and hurt my foot.So this week i am taking off to get better.I am hoping to heal by next week and hit the auctions again.

    Boy do I know how that feels. Last Friday I put down a piece of trim I was pulling, sort of lost my balance and put my hand down- right ont a 6D finish nail in the trim.. Couldn't do crap with my hand for the weekend. Be well man, recover and go back at it :-)
