    OK. The short, free video titled: "Assessing a Cleaned Car and Racking the Gutted Parts" is a good example of why I am not renewing my subscription. It sounded promising, but delivered little. Nice shot of the gutted interior, but no assessment. And when the Host seemed surprised that all the removed parts were on the rack, why didn't we get a look at it? The Technician claimed it was all there? Well, how does he organize it? I see the driver's door hanging on the back, but where are the seats? In one of those little boxes? It seems like this video should have been longer.

All right, looks good. Finishing up the cleanup on this car. Now, we can take a look inside and see what we're dealing with. It does look really good. That's a couple of hours really well spent. Organization is key. Now that we have all this stuff out of the car and we're able to look inside the car, we can assess better what we need to do with this car. And I'm telling you, Aaron has done a super-duper job with the rack back here. It's almost hard to believe. You really got everything out of that car and it's all on that rack right there? It is hard to believe that all that junk came out of there and lined up on that rack like that. But it sure makes a world of difference when you go to reassemble and- It doesn't even look like we have any parts up there. Well, that's what organization will do for you. Everything is there? It is? It is. Okay, if you move that out of the way, we can get this on the rack and get the front end off the car. All right, let's do it.
