Scrap metal brings a pretty good price if you can get it on a trailer and get it home. Batteries are worth something. Dirty aluminum is worth more. Catalytic converters can be worth a lot of money depending on the type. Any kind of electric motor with copper wiring is worth more than just tin. Scrap metal prices have been high recently. It might be worth scrapping the car to get back some of your repair bills....

But, we don't legally 'own' the car as we don't have the title. Or, I would peddle it to a scrap dealer.

What happens to it is up to the legal owner. God only knows for sure who that is. LOL

I bet he can't scrap it without it being in his name.......

You are both correct in terms of the law. But we used to fudge a little every now and then when I worked for a scrap metal company---not mentioning any names :) It happens all the time, still doesn't make it legal.
 
Just got back from looking at the cut site again. Earlier I had reported wood up to 24" diameter. Looks like there is some even bigger stuff in the pile. Maybe 36" diameter. Probably have to cut these into rounds, then noodle into more manageable chunks. If 4 splitters show up, put 3 at the bucking trailer and the 4th in position to do the noodled chunks. If 2 tractors show up, use one to keep the bucking trailer busy and the second one for pulling logs out of the woods to a secondary landing. 2 saws out in the woods prepping logs to be pulled out. Similar to what was done at Mansfield. Ed will be bringing clients in to load their own vehicles, after they are taken care of, fill a trailer, then the rest will be piled on the ground. Of course, all this is subject to last minute changes and/or better ideas.
Oh yeah, KY3 might show up too. So everybody brush your hair and comb your teeth. :laugh:
