I've been puzzling about this - once you get the heap of a parts car to a point like in that pic, so that it is time to dump it, how do you move it out of the garage?

My parts car still drives but pretty soon now it will have too many key parts stripped.

The scrapper brings dollies and pulls it up on to his rig (you know, they slide back and ramp down). Then I don't care whet happens.

The master cylinder never sold, with tracs and ABS if anyone needs a setup. Pay postage and a few bucks for more skinned knuckles.

The right doors and hatch are still there, too. Weird.

You could have at least tried to salvage the paint! does that thing still have the third row seat?
