What Can I Do With My Unused Car?

Surely you know of someone who as a vehicle that is sitting in a garage somewhere, collecting dust, waiting to be fixed or sold. I see them all the time when I’m out and about. The cars that sit in the driveway and just take up space. Not only are they an eyesore, but they can actually do some good for someone if they are donated to a charity that uses them to fund medical research or any other great cause. I’ve selected a few and I want to make you aware of them, so next time you visit your friend or family member with an old car, boat or motorcycle missing an engine and likely never to be fixed, you can give them a reason to get it out of their driveway and reclaim their space. Not to mention, their donation is also tax-deductible!
