When Dr.Mopars crushed a bunch of cars a while back, I helped him strip 
them. We marked every part we took off. From talking with him, I found how 
tempting it is to bring in the crushers. First part is that older parts move 
slower. The net helps, but it still moves slower. People wreck new cars way 
more than old ones. With just a call, the crusher is dropped off and goes to 
work and the yard owner gets a check.

I hate the fact that old iron gets crushed. I have 14 old cars and trucks 
and know the parts are hard to come by, but I realize that the quick buck 
rules to most as well.
