Here is a rare treat for those of you who are interested in the automobile salvage industry. We sent Gocheck out into the yard with a camera yesterday, and he shot this video by accident. It gives you a glimpse, albeit a shaky one, at life in a salvage yard. In this video, Gocheck: - climbs into the wheel well of a vehicle to inspect the seam of a door on an adjacent vehicle - gets run down by a yard man... - gets interrogated by the sales staff who can't wait to have the pictures uploaded (Note: one of them actually leaves to go inspect the door himself before viewing the pictures, making the entire trip a complete waste of time.) If you think Gocheck deserves a little love for all he does, hit that 'Like' button and share our video. Enjoy!
