Any fun/interesting projects?  Would they be worth anything at a metal
recycler?

springs?

Well, this probably isn't too useful to most people, but if you're into
blacksmithing you can make all sorts of neat things out of them.
Punches, drifts, knives, and all sorts of other useful stuff. The steel
is generally of good quality.

I've seen people use them in junkyard sculptures, too.

Mail them to the Roadrunner, from the Acme corporation.

You mean Wile E. Coyote. He's the one buying the Acme stuff all the time.
(Where does he get all that money?)

Yeah. (Brain Fart) Even watched all the time.
LOL. I don't know, but he sure had some good stuff! I want some of the
cool "Instant Hole/Tunnel Paint"
(I don't know how it works, butiwantit)

I won't lie, the first thing that came to mind was spring shoes :-)

Weld two of them together as a stand for your mailbox.  The local kids
will never be able to knock it over.

Don't try and drill through the things, though.  It's no fun.  Easier
than drilling through old brake rotors, but no fun.
