catch and release

..... I was driving up one of the back lanes by my place with a bit of scrap on my truck and some guy met me at the back lane and asked if I would take his truck away lol.....
rusty 78 f150, with a straight six ....Running! lol
so I draged it home .... literly....
very little steering in it, and alot of screetching... pushed my truck right side ways at one point ..

anywho, I went out to fill up a tire on it and another guy(friend up the lane) pulled up and said he'd give me $100, ... I said $150... he said $125, and I said ok :P .... it's not like I have a place to put it anyway

yup I did ... couple hours ago


and yea, good way to make some cash ..... theres a scrap yard in the city that pays a flat rate of $200 for vehicles .... but getting it across the city with no steering could possibly break somthing on my truck, or cause alot of attention lol
