our job is in jeopardy!!!!!!!!!

im here to tell all scrappers, you better get what you can get now, our future is in jeopardy!!!



I hope that was dramatic enough, I let my school use one of my cars for a fundraiser for cancer, they wanted to beat cancer out. these kids done the below with a baseball bat and they earned $300+ for their charity, the car didn't really have any damage at all, we removed the windows and mirrors before we delivered the car, I picked it up tonight and this is what I found. I laughed so hard, if they can do this with a bat we are all in trouble once they use a cutoff wheel and a sawzall

Daaaaaamn!! A lot of pent up rage there you think? HA!

All that and I didn't see any of your advertising on the car that you "donated" to their cause.

I'd say it was a good way for a Dodge to meet its maker!

you could say an intrepid is a cancer, the motors either knock, or the solenoid pack in the transmission is bad, I even had one knocking that wouldn't shift, a truly bad car. ive hauled lots of them now and they are usually pretty clean like this one was

I wouldn't worry about it. To be a good and profitable scrapper it takes a whole lot of smarts, some muscles, the ability to use tools, and think outside the box. How many pent up enraged teenagers do you think possess all the above. Maybe 2 out of ten. I know, I use to teach.

Yeah the engines have a rep for being JUNK.. I see a lot of them up for sale in the CL car listings.. BUT folks still think with that junk motor they are worth $600-$1000.. Sigh.. I have yet to snag one personally!

As most Craigslist adds claim...just needs a little TLC and great for a new driver.

its funny you say that, I got a t-ball bat out of a ford ranger today completely unrelated, they did have a blast is what I was told, my youngest said she hit the hood and my oldest just watched. I told the school if they wanted to do it again next year to give me some more time and I could get them more cars and they may be able to have contests of some sort

There's a church or something that has a car or two at the fair every year for charity. The yard that supplies the car puts their advertising on the car.
They sell the hits at 2 for $1.00 with a sledge hammer. After a few days it is beat to pieces. They end up donating a few thousand to their charity of the year. The free advertising is invaluable with all the people walking by and watching them beat it up.
