When you are done parting out a car, where does it go?
I need to get rid of this thing. It's still got alot of wiring, the unibody of it, and I'd like to get the "chassis" out of my driveway. Who do I call? I'm in Vancouver, WA
Thanks~!

I thought the idea of parting out a car was to sell everything?
Typically, the remaining hulk sits by a bush in the back yard and you tell everyone that it's a project car. After a few years you will stop mowing around it. After the plants have overgrown the car and it's no longer in sight from the kitchen window you will go into apathy and no longer care the car is back there. Eventually, you'll get married and have no money. Then your curiosity will get the best of out and you'll wonder back there to see how bad the car is... you know... just to see if you can drive it again. At that moment a swarm of hornets will rush from under the dash and you'll run for your life. For the next 20 years you'll tell stories about your "hot rod" in the back yard that used to run 10s in the 1/4 mile on street tires. Of course, part of the fantasy is that if you just had money for a good set of tires and a battery you'd get the thing running again. But it's just not part of your priorities.
Or else pay someone with a wrecker to haul it to the junkyard now.

You can do it that way or if you needed to dispose of it without any kind of papertrail you cut up the frame into 3 or more managable pieces and haul it down to the crusher as scrap metal one piece at a time (spread it out over a month), if it's not a whole car they 'usually' won't record any VIN#'s they find.
