Sure, or whatever Euro/Asian/South American etc equivalent. Napa AutoPros are basically parts stores but also mechanics shops. One of the two here is a machine shop and industrial supply too.

You don't have a nearby museum, rec centre, public park, cenotaph, etc., with a tank on display? Jesus what the hell is wrong with America.

 Post a picture of your vehicle inside of a wood-framed (be it timber, stick framed, or otherwise, but the majority of the structural support must be wooden) barn. If you're an urbanite, guess what, go for a drive, that's the name of the game. E: There's a bit of a story behind this tank. Apparently they removed the engine in the 1970s after a mishap involving a couple of local drunks taking it for a joyride. It was also covered in hippy graffiti until the 90s.

Are you seriously telling me you can't find a wood-framed barn? They're one of the most common structures on Earth.

beep-beep car is go posted:"Hi Mr Farmer! I can see you're busy working 12 hour days taking care of your farm that's barely breaking even on a good year and losing money hand over fist on a bad year but can I - a complete stranger who you have never met - place my car inside your ancient barn already filled to the top with your equipment and/or silage and hay to take a photo for an internet comedy site?" You don't work 12 hour days on a farm, ever. It's more like 16-20 hours, for a few weeks*, then a bunch of waiting, then maybe a week of 16-20 hour days again with random days (depending on how you do your tilling, and if you do any spraying or fertilizing) thrown in over the next couple months. This is followed by another couple weeks of 16-20 hour days... Of course, if you only own about 100 acres, cut those weeks down to days, or even no time at all because chances are you rent your fields out to someone else and have a regular job. Besides, it's Winter, right now nobody is tilling, planting, spraying, harvesting, haying, or really doing anything at all if they don't have livestock. You'd probably be the highlight of their Winter. Many farms also have "on farm markets" through which they sell products to anyone who stops by, even cityfolk. There are also farms starting to do niche things like rent out plots to people who lack the space for a garden. These people would probably be the most likely to let you take a picture for the internet. Point's moot tho, rdb has it in the bag. E:*Assuming no livestock like cattle or more than a few chickens.

First I pick something I thought would be common, turns out I was wrong, I accept that and it's why I altered my challenge. Then I pick something I know has to be easy, because they exist all over the world, even Antarctica has wood-framed storage buildings, and then goons whine about not having the social skills required to talk to a farmer. Next time I'm just going to pull something out of my rear end and put zero thought into it.

Oh man, there's another 2007 Nissan Versa in the same colour as mine but with an auto at the dealership I just bought mine at. E: My neighbour has a Sentra sedan, same era and colour, and iirc both vehicles are based on the same generation Renault Megane. Would that count? I could take the picture from my porch.

But they serve poutine...  Sorry for disappointing. In this little part of Canada not as close to the border as most, the options were "fast food joint that also serves a handful of vaguely 'French' foods like poutine," or "drive to different city an hour away." I knew I was playing fast and loose with the definition but I thought I would've gotten a laugh or two out of that. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Feb 18, 2017 |

Small so nobody thinks this is my attempt at the challenge because I'd say a wind turbine is a form of windmill because the point is the convert wind energy into another form of energy more useful for work. At the same time, I detest them. I used to live at this farm and drove all the way down there after work to take a picture of my car next to the windmill you can make out behind the house. Unfortunately by the time I got there it was pitch-dark and basically the picture I took with a flash showed only my car reflecting all the light. Without a flash, no car, and the windmill was backlit by a very dark part of the night sky instead of say, the milkyway. I tried it with a flashlight too, no dice.  E: At least all this driving is helping me remember how to stick. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Feb 19, 2017 |

So, does that mean my snowblower and my self-propelled lawnmower count as vehicles?

What constitutes a tow-truck? Can I put the lawnmower in my wheelbarrow and tie the wheelbarrow to the snowblower?

Well, my snowblower does have something resembling a drawbar hitch but I have absolutely no idea what it is for. I've thought about making a two-wheeled dolly to stand on to go with it but am really unsure if the friction disc could handle the loading.

There's two doves that nest somewhere around here and they usually hang out on my front step. I've seen them on top of the Versa a few times but they bugger off when I try to take a picture.
