As someone else mentioned, this wasn't an option - they still attempt
to collect any fees they incur and they charge extra even just for
junking the car.  But we weren't donating it because the car was
worthless.  She's just had it a long time and it made more sense to
give it to a charity since the one we contacted had people who will fix
it up for free and give it to someone who needs it.  She decided she
could use public transportation instead.

Given that you don't know the full story, you might try giving people
the benefit of the doubt before you judge them so strongly, and try to
act all superior.  Once you learn that, then you won't have to worry
about your posts being archived and people labeling you as some 'type'.
