Bikes: My frame is covered in reflective tape. After adding ridiculously large handlebars, a comfy seat, and enough carrying capacity to haul a Thanksgiving grocery run home, the manufacturer wouldn't recognize it.

Donating to charity is a painless way to get rid of a non-****ioning vehicle. Some charities accept used vehicles even if they are not in working conditions. They'll just haul it away and leave you a receipt. If you itemize your federal taxes, you can get up to a $499 deduction without filling out any additional paperwork other than the standard deduction form. Beyond $500, there's additional paperwork -- and beyond a certain amount claimed, you may need an appraisal.

Do a search online and you can probably find a charity that will haul away your vehicle for you.
