what do do with my lowly rattly car?

alright i gotta get rid of this maxima, its a huge chunk of stress in my life and i need it gone. thing is i need some bucks for it and the yard is only offering up $150 if i drive it in, usually they offer $200 and they tow it.

it runs and drives its just got a bad crank or rod bearing issue, and to this day i dont know why. i had taken it on a trip before it happened and i changed the oil before and i made sure it was full and it was fine all the way up and then on the way back it fouled out the plugs, it never really warmed up (it was hella cold) so i parked it, drove the cougar untill i got paid, bought some plugs poped em in and funky noise. checked all the plugs, nothing hitting, nothing in the cylinder, oils full still. super confused, i pulled the wires off ine cylinder at a time and not one makes any difference in noise so i am stumped.

what do do with it

You must have "SUCKER" tattooed on your forehead if "bad crank or rod bearing" doesn't mean anything to you. Oh wait... you'd want it to "tear apart" right?
