Well, now that I've commented, we'll be slapped by the content bosses.  But I will comment anyway.

Now, I'm a guy who has had my share of fusses with my city officials over the condition of my yard -- I try to maintain a wildlife friendly property, and that means not keeping a manicured lawn in a city where anyone not an absolute conformist is not just suspect, but considered unAmerican.  That said, an old abandoned vehicle, whether claimed to be art or not, is a hazard.  The fact that it is a brand that folks on this list favor, or that it has "nostalgic value" for those of who led the hippy lifestyle is irrelevant.

Sincerely, David McNeely
