Well, obviously, this is now his entire plot... so it's his job to pay for someone to build a nice set of switchbacks? Or d'you reckon the contractor would head right on up and shunt his car off with the 'dozer?
They're taking a page from R. H. Thomson, Seattle City Engineer. The "Denny Regrade" fundamentally changed the landscape of Seattle by smoothing out the geography. There were a number of land owner holdouts. So he regraded everything EXCEPT the holdouts. This is the (temporary) result.

Stood there coldly
Shiverin’ in the sun
Felt like one of a billions
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I’d never felt that strong
Like a pile of dirt
I was eighty-four
Didn’t have a care
Working with crayons
Not a dime to spare
But I was fat and
lazy everywhere
Like a pile of dirt
My bank loan was denied
My cars were pieces of crap
My company had no purpose
My steps slow and small
But I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a pile of dirt
(But the Chinese envied me)
Like a pile of dirt, I was sad as I could be
Like a pile of dirt, there's nothing useful about me
Like a pile of dirt, but the Chinese envied me
Like a pile of dirt
(but the Chinese envied me)
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all those car czars and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
Because the Chinese envied me
Eighty years now
Where’d they go?
Eighty years
I don’t know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they’ve gone
And sometimes late at night
When I’m bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin’ a ghostly white
And I recall, because the Chinese envied me
Like a pile of dirt, I was sad as I could be
Like a pile of dirt, there's nothing useful about me
Like a pile of dirt, but the Chinese envied me
Like a pile of dirt
Like a pile of dirt, I was sad as I could be
Like a pile of dirt, there's nothing useful about me
Like a pile of dirt, but the Chinese envied me

EDIT: It wasn't Denny, it was Thomson.

The white surrender flag next to it seems approriate. Are we sure it's not a French car?

China has a history of doing things like this. Despite being awful, it is a rather amusing image.
