    That tree has a certain Dr. Seuss swagger to it, as does the whole scene.


    The tree can't fit inside his yard

    To move it will be very hard

    He will move it in a truck

    It won't fall if he has luck

    It won't hit a single wire

    It won't set his truck on fire.

    I find it hard to believe that people don't flock from all corners of the internet to see this sort of thing here.


    Congratulations, Murilee. I salute you. And your erect wood, which you were holding onto in your brother's bed.

    Speaking of my favorite motor vehicle (and I am incredibly jealous of the lack of rust on your brother in law's trruck), have you considered doing having the 22RE as an Engine of the Day feature? No, it's not sexy, but damn, it seems very jalopworthy (but I'm very biased).

    @Forgetful:

    Every time I hear 'The Green Movement', I revert to the doctor part of me.

    Yeah, I know I should care about the political dimension. In fact, I do.

    But there should really be another name for Greens.

    Whenever they say it, I always think this:

    Speaking of indestructible Toyotas, I've been seeing a 2nd generation Corolla sedan (with a Toyoglide!) around town lately. If I can get some pictures without getting stabbed by the owner (it seems to live around the block from where I work, which isn't the friendliest neighborhood), I'll send them in.

    No. Way.


    I just saw on the way to work, not fifteen minutes ago, the cleanest '80s Hilux I've ever seen. It was badged as a Hilux, too, riding on late-model Tacoma wheels, Wyoming plates... and it had a tree in the back.

    I'm still stalking the few early-'80s Hiluxen 'round these parts. There's a red stepside somewhere (which may/may not be part Jeep) and I followed a FJ60 home today! So much cool stuff, so little on-street parking!

    @Eric N Squires: I'd like to take a moment to point out how glad I am that Jalopnik isn't YouTube. On a whim, I googled "fries at the A&W", and this was a result: "A&W fries are made of mostly potatoe. Mcdonalds fries are only about 20% potatoe lol so of course A&W fries ..."
