Gorgeous looking tree

Most likely cut somewhere in the wild and not from a tree store. Hence the missing mesh to compact it.

Good chance this is a “poached” tree and I’ll bet the cops didn’t even ask where he got it from.

Could be from their own property but I’d imagine a property owner with his/her own woods would drive a truck and not a Prius.

The real miracle was the running TR6.

My aunt drove one (what few times it ran) way back when. I remember that it sat a lot.

The real miracle was the running TR6.

We had the American Motors 7/70 coverage on that Triumph TR6. Every time it broke down (weekly) we just brought it back, and they would fix it.

Shortly after that, American Motors went bankrupt.

Now, I'm not saying offering a warranty on our TR6 drove them out of business, but it surely helped!

All Boston rich suburbs are lib

I doubt Stepford though

Yankee women don’t do Stepford

My daughters in those years my ex had them till 10th grade lived there for two years

It was very pretty

But the women were non feminine early grey hair no makeup sorts

I like my stepford wives well groomed

” I have no problem with that. He’s probably only going a few miles.”

You can kill someone with a MV in a split second and you dont know how far the idiot was going.

Your comment is brainlesss

AMC and quality never mixed well together.

Any Jeep product is an example. I love them anyway.

I meant more the lock-joint leftwing uniformity of the denizens. Lots of ugly lefty hags for sure, but I worked in nearby Concord for a few years and there were definitely plenty of hot gals out and about, jogging, etc. A lot are are wives from Hanscom AFB nextdoor in Bedford. Not all though.

Winding a rope in a spiral around the tree works well, too to cinch those branches in tight.

Clark: Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
Eddie: Naw, I’m doing just fine, Clark.

It is not only the police who are humorless, apparently.

You are quite right, I do not know how far he was going. That is why I used the word "probably".

I am not going to accept your bag of assumptions. I am not going to assume the driver was an idiot. I am not going to assume that he was going a long way. I am not going to assume that he was incapable of understanding the risks involved in operating a motor vehicle and making reasonable decisions about those risks.

If you make all of these assumptions, of course this person was the Worst Person in the World. If, on the other hand, the situation was such that there was no great hazard here, this was just harmless holiday hijinks.

You’d think Clark Griswold would have this xmas tree hauling thing down to a fine science by now.

When i was a young kid whenever we saw a TR6 my grandmother would always say “There’s your future car”.

Glad she was wrong...

Did they think several illegals were concealed in its branches? Or perhaps a few pounds of cocaine?
