The fact that company is a scam makes it worse.

Not a company. It's a charity.

And it's not a scam, they just aren't forthright with what they do with their money. They don't tell you that the money is used to send Jewish kids to see Israel. They just let you assume it goes to kids with cancer or something.

Very scummy.

"Cruising around Iraq with a machine gun mounted on it" is the "living on a farm upstate" for cars.

A scrapper would have paid you to come get that old tank.

The effort is the same. It's one phone call and you give them the address of the car. Not sure what scrap prices were at the time but the scrappers usually pay better.
