Redneck Stonehenge


HOOPER, Utah (AP) - A Utah farmer has erected a fence in his backyard made of three old cars sticking up in the air to send a message to new neighbors that he can do whatever he wants on his farm (news clip).

Rhett Davis calls it is his redneck Stonehenge.

He came up with the idea after neighbors who recently moved into homes next to his hayfield complained about his farm.


Davis says he offered to pay half the cost of a fence between his property and the others and to build it. He says his neighbors declined the offer, saying it would block their view. Neighbors declined to comment to the Standard-Examiner of Ogden.

Davis says he used a backhoe to dig three large holes on the edge of his property, then took three cars that had competed in demolition derbies and planted them nose-first into the ground.

Davis doesn't intend to keep the cars up permanently. He says he's worked things out with the neighbors.
