He kept saying that my truck was a pice of shit and i need to trade in for a new one. I finally told him if he didnt leave me alone i was going to talk to his boss. then he left me alone.i walked out and i see them pouring that shit into a blazer. i just shook my head and left.:mad:

Jesus, ANOTHER C4C thread? This program ended what, 3 months ago and we're STILL talking about it? Yeah yeah yeah, it was a huge waste, a lot of perfectly good vehicles got destroyed for no good reason, it didn't actually help the economy or the environment, it was a wrong thing to spend taxpayer's money on, did more harm than good, BLAH BLAH BLAH. WE KNOW. It's all been said before. No need to start another thread and say the same things for the billionth time.

ALL of the cars eligible to be clunked were also computer controlled, too. Including yours.

Are you serious? Google it. Or search for it on here. Like I said, it's been covered several times before.

If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.

Monday, I'm going to one of those C2C junkyards. Hopefully to pick up a good set of Explore's wheels. And if allowed, to walk around the yard to see anything else that I may want to keep the Ranger going.

Your the one who sounds like a juvenile when you respond and flame someone. Maybe you should get over it.

You CAN buy the body parts. Are you referring to the same thing?

It depends on the yard. Some are lazy and just smash the whole think. But places like pull-a-part have all the C4C in one spot and you just can't have the frame/engine block (and a few other small things) but everything else is free game.
