Hope the car is firmly attached to the support. Even the north end of the sacramento valley will get a shaker. I would bet a 7 would knock it down.

Use to live in that neighborhood, before I wised up and moved out of that crazy state. Used to work at McClellan AFB (before they shuttered)
Should have moved 30 years before, like the country life MUCH better

Been there a hundred times and never thought to snap a picture - next time I'll try to remember.

They use it as a display rack to sell bread, rolls, and cookies...

Nice, thank you for posting.
Reminds me a bit of the Ford's Garage restaurants in Florida (another thing on my to-do list).

You can take a virtual tour of one of them, thanks to Google streetview

There's a restaurant in Centralia wa that has an 05 Bush hanging from the ceiling at a downwords angle. Pretty cool. As a note to how far we've come, it has a wooden beam for a front axle.
