What are your thoughts about automotive recycling?

I’ve donated 2 cars to my local high school auto shop. This was some years ago, before the tax rules changed, but even then I didn’t claim more than $200 or $500. If I have another car that I feel has reached its end-of-life, and they have to be pretty much unusable for that, then I may donate to them again. The deduction is not all that important. I figure if a high school still has an auto shop and actually teaches mechanics, it’s worth supporting because so many have disappeared.
