Yeetle Box - Stonehenge Revisited

A farmer from Hooper, Utah 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.

"This is just a fun way for me to say, 'Hey boys, I'm still here,'" said Rhett Davis. "This is my redneck Stonehenge."

And, apparently, whatever he wants is to pile up cars to aggravate his neighbors.

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

"The people who bought the homes say, 'Well, we love looking into your yard and seeing the horses and the cattle, but we don't like the flies, and we don't like the mosquitoes,' and when I cut my field to bale it, they say, 'We don't like the dust in the air,'" Davis said. "Freakin' whiners! What did they expect? It's a farm! I raise bugs!"

How a fence manages mosquitoes and flies is still undetermined. Yet, Davis said he offered to pay half the cost of a fence between his property and the others and to build the fence. But his neighbors declined the offer, saying it would block their view.

Davis said after the neighbors snubbed his generous offer, 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 - just like Stonehenge.

The area has grown recently with new residents who desire a country atmosphere but don't want the smells and noises of farm life, Davis said.

The neighbors rolled their eyes and muttered underneath their breath.

"I've talked to my neighbors and worked things out. I really just thought this would be a funny thing to do," he said. "These can come out just as easy as they went in."

Carry on, Hooper Stonehenge Man.
