If it was on blocks of wood, then it would be called lawn art in S. Jersey.

Must have been some hooked up rims on that sweet Nissan ( sentra or maxima?). My son always laughs. He says that down south in NC where he goes to school, even the most beat up piece of sh*t cars have to have "rims". It's all hooked up yo b*tch.
Actually, I must admit, that I never leave my vette unattended in a place like that.

LOL!!!! I grew up in Lindenhurst, and I lived on Alleghany Avenue, right behind the LIRR parking lot where that photo was taken...LMAO, I can see my old house in that picture!!

But yeah, it's NOT a good parking lot...a few months ago, my mother, who still lives there, saw a bunch on punks at the parking lot just destroying car after car, for no reason at all.

It's a real shame how bad my old home town has become.

Wheel and tire thefts are jumping here on Long Island. I heard a little while back that they are hiting lots of Nissans, Toyotas, and Hondas.
