My Benz died today
Took 'er to the scrap yard today
 .Measly check. Steel prices are pretty down. They angled a camera hooked up to a monitor inside so I could watch it get torn apart. The claw first went and grabbed the hood and lifted. Instead of the hood tearing off, the whole car came off the ground. They turned it and shook it, then picked it up again before the hood came loose. Then they grabbed the engine. Again they lifted the whole car and had to shake and bounce it and pick it a few times until the head came off. I left after they flipped it upside down.

How much did you get for it? I once recycled an '82 Dodge sedan and the wrecker gave me $85 for it I think.

Yeah, the TD.
B2 piston failure and shattered rear glass. I hated not being able to part it out. I got $182 for it. Quote:

I got a bit over $200 for my barely running 1995 Jetta. I'd be lieing if I said I didn't enjoy watching it die, my only regret is I couldn't kill it myself.
  That abortion of a car should have been shot when it left the factory.

I think I miss it as much as my dog, who died a few years ago.

Dammit man, that SLS pump alone was worth the price you got for it.
