Default What to do with old sway bars....

Someone was offering to give their old sway bars free for the asking and I offered mine also. But, there must be a good use for these things? Here are a few suggestions I have. How bout...heavy duty fishing poles, or Yogo replacement parts, or sell to prisons to replace sawed into bars, etc....be creative.....there has to be some good uses for these things?
I know....I got it....lets all get together and offer them back to GM on a Group Purchase agreement....we could give them a special deal. Or make a memorial statue out of them at Bowling Green. Instead of purchasing a brick...you could purchase a sway bar! So, send all your old sway bars COD to Ram Air Tony I know he will be grateful for your beneifcient behavior. :jester

That's a good question! I know what I did with mine, they are in my shed. Not a very creative or productive use. Let's hear some more good ideas.

I used mine to align the trash in my trash can!
(Caution one time use only)
Here's how,
Open trash can lid, place sway bars in vertically, being careful not to scratch the sides of the can, close lid!

Nailed to a beam in your loft or garage they become a fantastic clothes rack for all your old uniforms and jackets you can no longer fit into
