THERE is no problem with that, but I would be concerned if the blend changed to 20 per cent or higher.

WITH $3000, your son shouldn't be choosy. Cast a wider net and search for the best car you can find for the money. It's better to have a car in good condition, though it might not be a cool choice. That might sound boring, but he'll get better service out of a car in tiptop shape than one that might have a better image but is run down.

THE possibilities are endless. Burning it comes to mind. But seriously, I'd suggest you take it to a scrap-metal merchant. However, they probably wouldn't accept it. Perhaps, if there is anything of value still on it, you could remove it and try selling the rest as spare parts. If rust has extensively taken hold, the only thing to do is get rid of the car. Convince your friend to buy another.
