Well, you will probably be waiting a long time before one of the rigs that buys them from SVO to make it to a junkyard.

Couldn't have gone to a cooler person Much deserved IMO, even if the truck's owner secretly moonlights in a Jeep from time to time Wish I lived closer so I could watch that monster in action!
