Needs some polish ("Metal" trash piles useless, don't get the point or value of the collectors that come by and sell to you. Buffing/metallic renovation/car painting and renovation needs more variety.

Very addictive. I really like using the cart around the junkyard to move things. I wish the truck was easier to steer. I haven't hired an employee yet because I like to do everything myself. I'll get there eventually.
