Reminds me of one I had with a tree through it. The cars was given to me by a
little old lady. Her son had owned it and left it behind at her place for junk.
She just wanted it out of her yard. The trick was, she didn't want me to cut
down the tree. What did I do you ask? Cut the car in half, of course. Maybe I
should file that one in with Tom W's "Why this little part cost $100.00".
