    Ok, so now that you have a truck full of crap that your neighbors, businesses, etc have given you, what do you do. If you have been following trick #2, then you definitely know that appliances are heavy and are mostly steel. But you would also know that many scrap metal appliances are very easy to take rip open, and you can make a few extra dollars in 5 minutes.

    Eliminate toxic substances. Many times toxins are left in the garage- old paint, harsh cleaners, bug repellents, old garden/lawn sprays and fertilizers, etc. Take one afternoon to gather all the old toxins and research how to recycle them properly. Try looking on recycling resource websites your local city or village website.

    Against popular opinion, it is not mandatory to buy bumper to bumper insurance when you purchase a vehicle. So if you really want to buy a vehicle, go ahead and do not allow that perk stop you. However, get the insurance cover before your car becomes a mechanical embarrassment to you. You drive a better bargain when your car is in good condition and not a bad one.

    Simply stop junk, fried, spicy and oily food. I cannot stress further the importance of simple, nutritious, healthy food. Our body is made out of food we eat. We grow from a baby of few inches to a full-grown adult only through food we eat. Food is the raw material used to build our building that we call body. How can you expect a strong building to be built if you use inferior raw material from part car ?

    Were you aware that when you buy used/recycled car parts, you are helping to save the environment? New car parts can emit more pollution than their used counterparts. When a manufacturer produces a new car part, they use more oil than they did in the past. When you reuse raw materials you are doing your part to reduce pollutants in the air. Discovering Junkyards in Oklahoma for your car should be easy, with so many auto parts recyclers in the US, there are more than enough car parts to pick from.

    Appliances have certain parts that can be taken down to a scrap metal recycling center. Some companies request that only the recyclable parts be brought in while others will take the entire washer, dryer, or hot water heater. If these items no longer work and then need to be disposed of, why not get a little extra money for them? Even an oven or fridge can be turned in.

    Speaking of that, there are many more benefits to speak of when it comes to scrapping a car. The fact that you’re making your home look better for not only you, but your neighbors as well is a huge plus. Equally as important, that metal will be recycled and used for something else.

    David and his father were looking for a business to buy. They were interested in a scrap yard that I was selling. I asked their buying agent to bring them over so I could interview them and to explain this business to them. In 3 minutes it was clear that they should not even consider this business. We spent the balance of the meeting talking about the businesses they had looked at and the pros and cons of each. I gave them my honest suggestions about each from their description. They thanked me and left.

    We are not talking about a whole new car makeover. Although sometimes this is also necessary, (and cheaper than buying a new car) that is not the subject matter for now. There are so many things that can be done to make your car beautiful; and there are cheap, affordable options for everyone. Then, there are some things that need to be done; to keep your car working beautiful. Fine, you might not be willing to buy all types of accessories, but, there are certain things that need to be maintained in order that your car does not turn into a heap.

    There are a lot of things you can do to tailor your car to your own personality. Maybe you can start by adding some interior accessories. Billet accessories are a great way to enhance the look. Start out with a few items such as dash control knobs, door locks, door handles, running boards. These are always a good place to start, because you can see the results quickly. Then you can move onto exterior accessories like Matrix headlamps, tinted or clear taillights. These are all items you can install very easily and will set you apart from all the other models like yours.
