I've had it with all the dead cars around this place and it's time for things to start happening.

The 92 Buick Dinosaur Scotty bought to fix up and drive hasn't moved under it's own power since the week he bought it and it's time for it to go the hell away. I'm not sure what all's wrong with it but I'm pretty sure the block and heads are still perfectly functional so he shouldn't have any trouble selling it to someone to fix or part out. I'll give him a reasonable amount of time to do that, then call the nearest auto salvage yard and tell them they can have it for getting it out of my sight.

Dad's '82 Ford F-150 has seen much better days but he loved it when he bought it and it's worth fixing, at least well enough for occasional local use, which will please Mom greatly. It's been sitting in one spot way to long waiting till we could afford to replace the alternator in it, which I intend to have done soon. There's also something not right in the front end that would have to be fixed before it was driven very much; I'm not sure if it's something simple like a broken shock or something more complicated; depending on what it turns out to be I may not have it fixed but I know if all we use it for is hauling trash up to the road on trash day just seeing it move under its own power again will make Mom happy.

My sister's 92(?) Chevy Corsica got parked over 4 years ago because we couldn't afford repairs at the time. What started off as a radiator leak snowballed into a cracked head gasket, which after the thing's set this long means it needs a complete engine overhaul, which would cost more than the thing would be worth after it was fixed. On the other hand, Scotty liked it when it was running right and it might make sense to fix it up to sell him then pay off the loan on the Malibu, sell it and pay off the loan on it.

That leaves Matt's Chevy Berretta, which hasn't moved since the clutch went out. I think it's probably worth the price to have it fixed. I'll put up the money for a clutch transplant with the understanding he'll sell the thing and pay me back out of whatever he gets for it.
