Yea Bill,

The Izzy-mobile was a real piece work, something close to art. Bob let him park it there after the police told him to get it off of the highway. It had Kansas plates, and no safety inspection. There were other "problems" with the whole story that I will not get into here.

As for the the category, All of the above.
