The Place With All The Echos

As many of you know, my uncle Jim has a humber of Toyota Echos on his property - He loves them.  He was the one who taught me to love them too.   Anyways,  my poor old echo from last year has now been surrendered for spare parts for the other Echos, her last days are over.





However, what she (The Silver Bullet - My old echo) had to offer wasn't good enough.  Hannah's Echo was in need of a gas tank and Jim has already "fixed" The Silver Bullet's tank 4 or 5 times, so it wasn't a suitable part.  So to solve this problem does Jim go buy a new tank or take it to a shop like most people? No, (yet another reason why Jim is so awesome) Jim finds a used Echo for sale on Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) that has a almost new tank and buys it for a really good deal.   Now, not only did Jim get a great deal on a almost new tank, he also has a whole car's worth of spare parts - in addition to the one pictured above.  His "new" one is pictured below.



No Jim has a total of 5 Toyota Echo's, 3 functional and 2 for parts.  

What Jim needs to do now is park his Echos on his front lawn on little wood chip piles surrounded with flowers and display his fleet.   Then this place would become a landmark, a reference point.  You can just hear someone giving a friend directions, "then turn left on the first road after the place with all the Echos."  The only problem with this idea is that there are those in the household that oppose it.  So, sadly it won't be happening.
