    How do you know it’s a vehicle?
    It looks like one!
    It turned me into a newt! I got better though.

    A friend told me “newt” is British slang for gay. Whether or not it’s true, it makes the scene so much better. From another source I heard “shrubbery” is slang for prostitute…teehee.

    A nice shrubbery! Not too expensive though…

    I don’t think your friend is quite right in the head department. I’ve never heard either expression, and these construction lads I work with would be sure to at least use shrubbery. I have learnt some other very interesting coloquialisms though.

    I would like an opinion on this. I would say it was a toy not a vehicle?

    I can find other stuff if this doesn’t fit the theme.

    For sure, that is a vehicle…The custom racing stripes confirm it. 8)

    Items that have been left to be reclaimed by nature. Difficulty: no buildings or vehicles.

    Clarification, please – are things like old paddocks, corrals, etc. considered “buildings” or not?

    Why would you think that padlocks and corals are buildings?

    /seriously. My input (worth little) is that those two are OK.

    Just checking, really – paddocks and corrals consist of many of the same materials as a “building,” and in some cases still include a roof to go with the vertical posts, horizontal rails, et cetera.

    Aw man. I hate it when I have to explain the joke. That means it sucked.

    I don’t see a problem with that. Same goes for paddocks, corrals, old roads, fences,etc.

    What about rail-road ties? It isn’t the vehicle, it is more like the road, I guess.

    And then what if I can’t tell what the old sheet metal came from? I live near an old gold-mine, so there is a ton of random metal stuff laying around.

    I was going to use this winch, but I think I have better:

    Those sound ok to me, and the winch looks fine. NoBigDeal can further clarify if this isn’t the case.

    Now I would assume a toy isn’t a vehicle, provided it doesn’t have room for a kid on it.

    Okay, I’ve got two tougher questions:

    -are amusement park rides vehicles? It may look like a ship, but it just spins around on a central axis like a giant swing. And what about a roller coaster? It has wheels and it goes on a track, but it really doesn’t take you anywhere. I concede that bumper cars are probably vehicles, but merry-go-rounds are not.

    -what about shopping carts? I don’t believe they’re vehicles, but what if I post a picture of my abandoned shopping cart collection?

    Are the remains of a ruined bridge considered a “building”?

    A bridge is a structure, but unless you’re homeless I wouldn’t consider it a building. Then again, it’s not my theme…
