Took the old T to the scrap yard...

... to take some scrap in of course! After a home remodel job, I had a few pieces of scrap metal. I also had a urge to see what my T weighs... and thought boy, if I take the scrap to the scrap yard in the T, then I'll get a free weigh-in too! My strategy succeeded and the old T served well over the 9 mile round trip. I didn't get any offers for her, but did get lots of smiles and waves along the way! Thanks to the brass and copper in my load they even paid me out $63 for my troubles! Good in my book!
Ohh and for those wondering.. the T weighed 1,720#'s. Not too shabby.
Hope you enjoy my version of a click-bait story! Here are some photos, or it didn't happen!

then I read it, you used it to TAKE things to be scrapped.

In Oregon you can drive your car onto the state weight station when they are not open. The weight platforn is able to read out your weight.

That's pretty cool. In Pennsylvania, the state scales are either mobile or in danced in areas off 70mph roadways. We do not weigh for free in the state of Liberty.
