Sounds like some one who is all about the money and has no passion for it.
It's sure going to be hard to straighten all that stainless trim back out.
unfortunately any person who has a considerable amount of vehicles its about the money. Without it being about the money you don't amass a large inventory, collection ,hoard whatever you wish to call it. Over the decades ive owned a couple of thousand vehicles. some ive kept, some where quick flips, some parted out and a large portion sent to the recyclers. My passion isn't any less because I wanted to turn a profit. I pull all the stainless , aluminum, potmetal off before I recycle. I separate everything to try and get the most dollars from the scrap. I even sometimes cut the frames up for short iron. Its kinda nice to haul off three vehicles on my gooseneck and get between $1500 and$2000 for the cars and sell a couple hundred dollars worth of copper aluminum & stainless to boot. Being about the money isn't evil or even a little bit wrong.
