Yup I mentioned the possibility that someone else might be able to donate the repairs, such as a repair shop, or cash donations for that purpose etc. I hadn't thought of charities tearing the vehicles down and selling the scrap metal though. If there's charities that specialize in it, great!
I hope people understand where I'm coming from. I'm not just trying to be on a "high horse" or calling out anyone. I was just trying to show from 'the other side' that not all donations are helpful, and it's something dukes would have to keep in mind. From his post, it looks like he did already!
I'll try to be more careful with how I word my posts, I know sometimes they can come across as too blunt. I find this especially occurs in the mornings when I'm not really fully awake yet (which is why I'm killing time on message boards lol)
