Yes, but with those long, cold, frigid winters in the YooPee when the natives
aren't ice fishing, ice racing, ice sailing, playing hockey or eating piroges; 
the mind tends to be overcome with some amazing mechanical possibilities...

Imagine if there were roadster owners up there.........

P.S. For those not familar with the term YooPee = Upper Pennisula of Michigan, a
     place my family visited from time to time.

V8s are put into some amazing places.

There's a V8 in Big Gus, listed in Guinness as the world's largest
running chain saw.  A couple of pictures are at

The US Lawn Mower Racing Association has an exhibition machine
with a helicopter engine in it that can mow a football field in
14 minutes:
