No no don't worry. But I did recycle my MK2 Jetta, it was rebuilt and bent and no one wanted to buy it so I parted it. The bare shell weighed about 500 lbs and it all fit into the Westy. Always amazes what you can fit into one of these. As I was pulling onto the scale the hispanic guy weighing me points at the Van and says, "Good car!" And while unloading outside an older guy with a Chevy pickup commented that I could fit more inside then he could in his bed and that its like a little house inside, and then asked me if I want to sell it. Sell my recycling home on wheels... heck no.

Impressive. Can't wait to tell my brother his car would fit in my van.

Awesome! That reminds me of the disposal of this scrap.

Yeah, these things can haul. After weighing in and checking the GVWR I realized it can hold 2.5x as much as that load (more if you subtract the Westy parts). If you're not in any hurry, that is.
