Car engine blew at HOPE B.C.
 
hey guys lol heres something humourous, my friends car engine blew up at Hope so its just sitting there at a gas station and its too expensive to fix so she wants to just give it away for scraps or whatever
i tried searching for a scrap yard in hope but there doesnt appear to be one?! all i found was a LANDFIL haha
do u guys know what we should do? call city hall? she doesnt wanna spend anymore money cause this pos blew up like 60 kms before hope and she spent 300 dollars towing it there so yea
any advice would be greatly appreciated

What is it?

scratch the vin off and peace outta there.

Push the car out of the gas station onto a residental street, uninsure the car and call it a day :)

VIN removal is a bonus

Jackwimmer 08-29-2010 03:30 PM

lmao is that the only way?!
oh its like a 96 corolla, but apparently doing an engine swap is like almost 2grand after towing and stuff, the car is worth the same amount!

Jackwimmer 08-29-2010 03:32 PM

oh and do u get any money for selling the car for scraps or whatever at a junk yard?

falcon 08-29-2010 03:32 PM

make sure you do all 3. one usually on the door sill, one on the dash and one on the firewall.

Jackwimmer 08-29-2010 03:33 PM

Call a tow yard in chilliwack or pick apart is right there call them.
Don't scratch off the vin thats stupid

SpuGen 08-29-2010 04:42 PM

go to craigslist and look for free scrap car removal

sometimes they pay you to take your car
scrap car rates right now are $130/tonne

fliptuner 08-30-2010 01:03 AM

More like $160-$180/T

I just got an 85 300Z hauled away for $150
