I guess this happens to every generation. I bet in the 70s and 80s people sold off their 69 camaros or gto judges for a few hundred bucks

When scrap prices were up that high I hauled in my F800 auger truck that i had been trying to sell on Craigs list. Had been on over a year with no serious interest. It only had 90K miles, automatic Cat diesel and AC. Had it listed for 2K dollars and could not move it. Took it to the scrap yard and the gave me $2800 and I got to keep my auger bit that was on it.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
