I college a friend and I combed the neighborhoods and bought junk cars for $15-25 each. We'd tow them behind the supermarket toss the seats and gas tank in their dumpster then off to the scrapyard where we got $45-60. We'd do 2-3 every Saturday until people wised up that scrap iron prices had gone up.
