need to junk my car

So I have this car that I just need to sell off to a salvage yard or something. I've gotten a couple quotes that are ok for a couple hundred dollars.

I'm just curious if anyone here has junked anything in Charlotte, and if there are any of these yards I should avoid or one that pays better? I've called several and I'm probably not missing anything, but if anyone knows of anything to avoid like the plague or something, I'd appreciate a heads up.

Car still runs and everything, it's just a cheap ass car that was in a fender bender and is now not worth fixing.

2000 mazda protege, bout 115k miles. the paint's in great condition and all, starts and drives fine. hit some lady going like 25-30 and the front basically exploded lol. I mean, the hood's bashed in a bit, and i bent the radiator, so it leaks coolant. Also, knocked a hole in whatever does the AC.. all my juice ran out.

The fronts bent up, so I mean... the damage was more than the car's worth. Thinking about the kidney foundation, tbh. Best offer I have had is ~300

If my memory serves me right (donated last year) the smallest tax deduction you can get is $600. Which is what I got for my 1992 accord that no longer ran.

Newer mazda might get more, but you won't know until they send you your receipt.

You ought to get with someone from one of those causes, and setup a car-bashing thing to raise money... Charge people to pick up some sort of implement like a sledge hammer or a baseball bat to take a few whacks at it to let off some steam...

Once you are finished, sell the car to a scrap metal place and give that money to the charity too...

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored.

      I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
