I've owned a good number of cars during my seemingly endless driving career. A few were just, some were beasts, and some were beauties. clutter. My focus today is on that final category because I want to discuss a topic that many of us deal with: getting rid of a car that has seen better […]
Even though I've always been a bit of a sentimentalist, practicality eventually wins out when it comes to my old clunker. My cherished, rusty friend, a 2005 Honda Civic that has endured more Minnesota winters than I would like to acknowledge, is finally nearing the end of its useful life. The rust is blossoming into […]
My garage is evidence that I've always been a bit of a pack rat. My old minivan, a remnant of a bygone era, is tucked away in the dark, dusty corners next to abandoned bicycles and piles of old magazines. Its once-bright paint has faded and streaked, it hasn't been used in years, & it […]
"How do I get a fair junk car price estimate in MN?" is a question that keeps coming to mind as I consider what will happen to my reliable old jalopy. I want to maximize its value even in its admittedly dilapidated state, not just sell it. Despite its beauty, rusty frames and sputtering engines […]
I'm here to talk to you about that old, beat-up car you've been meaning to get rid of—something that has probably been taking up space in your garage or driveway. I understand how it feels. I know what it's like to look at a car that has seen better days & wonder if it's worth […]

My Path to a Minnesota Junk Car's Instant Offer. It began like any other typical Tuesday. I was struggling with the ignition of my reliable, but now decidedly unreliable, old sedan as the sun attempted a tentative peek through the clouds over Minnesota. After being a devoted friend for more than ten years, this car […]
I recall the day my old clunker, a devoted rusty chariot I had lovingly dubbed "The Beast," eventually let go of the ghost. On a busy Minneapolis street, there was a slow, melancholy whine that faded into an unsettling silence rather than a sudden, dramatic explosion of steam & smoke. Staring at its lifeless form, […]
It all began with a rusty, four-wheeled relic from a bygone era in my driveway. After many winters & summer road trips in Minnesota, my cherished (and now rather dilapidated) sedan had finally given up the ghost. I had optimistically kept it around for far too long, thinking that one day I would magically develop […]
While many cars have come & gone from my driveway, none have stuck around as long as my old sedan. I had kept it for years as a memento of previous road trips & numerous grocery runs. It was now a motionless memorial to dashed hopes and corroded ambition. The engine made noises that could […]
