Has anyone seen any nice examples of a 914 or 914 parts used as yard art?

It seems like there is a fine line between "rusted junk in your yard" and "that is really cool/nice looking".

We have a new big yard that could use something like this. I'm thinking a rusty 914 hanging out under a pepper tree or something.

Like this looks cool (IMO):

Something new?
Don't recall seeing that when I was there last year.
Do you have a 911 up there as well?

Can someone please explain this? Otherwise this image is going to pop into my head for the rest of my life, leaving me baffled every time.

It's a lever arm and is showing how you can balance a ton (literally) with a much smaller object.

The actual math is a sum of moments about the pivot point. What that means is that for the 914 to stay in the air like that the (weight of the 914) x (distance from 914 to the post) must equal the (weight of the rock) x (distance from the rock to post).

I thought maybe this was a replacement for jackstands. Takes up a little more room though...
