Anybody looking for a unique gift to buy their loved one? I have the perfect item! It's on sale on e-bay, and there's no competition yet.


It's an eight foot tower of cars, on a spindle, and was featured in the movie Wayne's World. The Spindle, also known as the "Car Kabob" or the "Eight Car Pileup" is located in Berwyn, IL a suburb of Chicago. It was supposed to be dismantled last year to make way for a Walgreens (like there isn't one two blocks down?), but a couple of preservation groups formed to protest, and are trying to have it relocated.

How much would you pay for a rusted, bird poop covered, famous spindle of assorted cars? The full article and video are here.

  1. I wouldn't pay 2 cents for it, but I have a vehicle or two I'd like to add to that spindle. LOL

  3. Hey, if they toss in a copy of the Wayne's World movie on DVD they might get an offer or two.

    Laffs @ AliceKay and Styxie, there appears to be room for a couple more cars - and yeah, got to protect people from the pointed tip too...
