Don't the high schools teach car repair any more?

Nope, it's a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Mechanically it's a disaster, but it could be a really nice car for someone who can do a lot of the repair themselves. I'd heard that sometimes it was possible to loan vehicles to school auto programs and it'd get fixed up, but you had to be willing to wait a long time because they might take a semester to do. Either that, or donate it, but my accountant tells me that since I have so little to itemize, there isn't much point in donation.

Well, there is the warm fuzzy feeling you get. But if that is all you are after, just don't shave you legs for a few days and then pee your pants.

We don't have auto repair at our school. We don't have any woodworking or shop classes at all. Instead, our school has a video studio, CAD lab, digital print shop, networking classes, and web design.

Instead, people can opt to take classes at our local community college (College of the Canyons), which is like less than a mile from our school. They have much better equipment than a school could ever afford, anyway.

Don't bother donating either. I work for a non-profit and we have people wanting to donate their old cars all the time. There are many companies who will do all the work of selling off the car but the amount of money the non-profit ends up making is extremely minimal Plus that company gets it's own cut!

Honestly, it's almost worth you selling it in the Pennysaver or something. There are people who may want it just to sell it for parts!
