Gotta wonder if it made it to Rudi Klien's in LA, no? I'm sure in his tenure he'd been asked dozens of times....
For the record @Germ this is really kool stuff about the L'il Bastard.
Doesn't answer it tho. A bet? Contest? Dare? Used as a jackstand while they fixed a tire? Used as a chair leg? Inquiring minds wanna know...;)
