SABL i gave 500 for 2 92 mark8s one was pure parts car no title blown out air bags no tranny but good motor. other was good running car with good title. put the wife in the good one she drove it a week and managed to blow the head gasket (im blameing her but yall know me being a mechanic and mechanics dont work on thier own stuff because theres no money in that). ignore talk in parentasees?spelling? anyway i figured ok now i have to pull both motors and install one. well after putting it off for a couple days (dont ask her she will tell yall it was more like 6 weeks) i found her another car that was cheaper on gas to drive back and forth to work. so now to the point. i take the bad motor out and scrap the aluminium and get a few bucks for it. dont know exactly because i had other aluminium stuff to go with it. then took the one with the good motor to the scrap yard got 440 bucks and still have the aluminium wheels( took it off because after pulling the first motor i figured im not doing that crap again im not set up to pull motors out from under the cars). then i took the one with no motor and good tranny and got 360 and still have the wheels from it too ( some dummy should have pulled the good tranny being the only thing holding it in there was a wire and the crossmember). last time i took aluminium wheels they were bringing 16 bucks each so i know i would have had a good car if i wouldve put a little effort in it but i figure if i had fixed the one and sold it i wouldve gotton around 1200 for it and scrapping both and getting to be lazy ill have around 1000 from both so lazy won. still good profit and little work i just hated to send them to thier deaths both had the all aluminium 4.6 v8s and when the one was running boy she would fly.

well im getting off the soap box before yall start throwing rotton tomatos for the sin i commited by killin those cars.

Bud.
