"Junking" my car.

I know it's the inside joke around here, but I need to junk my FC. Not in a hurry but I'll need it off my driveway in a couple months to make room for another FC, the city might want me to move it too.

Insurance hasn't given me any response at all after the accident so the car is still going to be in my driveway for a while, but i know that afterwords I'll need to get rid of it. What would be the best option in doing this? Honestly I can care less where it goes, just as long as I don't have to pay too much to get it out.

take all the good stuff then park it on the street. after a week or so, the city will tow it for free.

call up pick in pull or pick your park
depending on how much is still in the car, motor ,tranny , rear end, tires
they'll pick it up and maybe give you some money for it. and they'll also charge for towing iono how much though. unless you just tow it down to the yard yourself get a little more money.

AS LONG AS IT HAS 4 Tires and you have the registration and title in hand they'll do it. they did that with my 1st fc.

Oh and you'll have to go to the DMV and junk title & give them the plates unless there personal plates,
be sure this is done BEFORE you call the junkyards to pick the car up.

Don't do that, they traces it back to you and charge you a disposal fee, I learned this from personal experience (cost me $400 bux) Actually, the insurance company should take care of it when they write it off...

That's good the hear. I'd like to hear from my insurance... They take a long time responding. I've been very busy with the last few weeks of school and finals. After school is out I'll give my insurance a call and see what's up.

your insurance hasn't responded? F that. I'd be calling them every hour until I spoke with someone.
