Thanks for the wasp chasing ideas guys, but all the really fun ones are 
ruled out by the huge amount of very dry brush surrounding the car.  This 
also rules out the "blue wrench" approach to suspension removal.  Nobody 
said it was going to be easy.  If it was, everybody would be driving an LBC.
I thought of a story about my grandfather when he was a boy, sitting 
cross-legged at the opening to an underground yellowjacket nest with a pair 
of ping pong paddles.  He said that as long as he didn't miss once, 
everything went well.  Now I see why they invented video games for kids.
