I went to a police pound auction once... It was done on a regular basis to clear out the impound lot of unclaimed property. About 99% of it was junk cars.
There were a couple of them I was interested in, severely wrecked but "possibly" had a good motor. No way to know, no starting, just looking.
I was quickly out bid! Never saw such worthless junk sell for such good money! There was one good car there, a late model Cadillac with very low mileage, but it had sat outside for 2 to 3 years. Paint, vinyl top, interior were ruined. That car went for new car price!!!
I didn't understand what was going on, still don't completely. It was not a charity benefit, the proceeds just went to some general fund. One man I was talking to said a lot of the remains of the high end cars and trucks (which there were very few) are purchased to get a clear title, then a stolen car is given a new VIN and title!
I never went back. They quit having them several years ago, don't know what they do now, probably scrap them.

Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
