Paint spectators on the walls, or hang racks of inexpensive tools which you can often find at garage sales and flea markets. Obviously, the tools you use need to be age appropriate. If you have a ceiling fan in the room, you can paint the blades in bright, racing colors, or using tape, you can create a black-and-white checkered flag effect.

The price you will get from a junk yard depends on your location and whether you can drive the car to them. The average price a junk yard will give you for a car you can drive it in is $200. If the junk yard has to tow your car, you will get about half that amount.

When iron comes into contact with H2O, it creates a solution tension. The results will vary depending on the surface and its electron concentrations. On parts of the surface with a fairly positive electron charge, the iron dissolves and forms positive iron II ions. Electronegative portions of the surface form OH-, (negative hydroxyl) ions instead. The OH- ions then bond with the iron to create hydroxides. These bonds cannot be dissolved. When combined with hydrogen (an important component of water) iron II ions become iron III ions. The hydroxide ions and iron II ions react and create hydrated iron oxides. Let them dry and you've got rust.

The principle behind this is simple: since most of the classics are at least over 15 years old, some people who are not collectors will probably consider them as junk.
