This is Episode 8 of Hello Road, my channel about cars, travel, and exploring. Today is yard work day. No new car purchase today, just spending some quality time with my Poobaru Legacy, trying to make my yard look a little bit nicer. Yes, it is possible to use a hooptie to do yard work!

My wife suggested I be sensible and hire landscapers. Instead, I did what any self-respecting car hoarder would do—survey my squadron of terrible hoopties and pick the most suitable vehicle for the task at hand.
