Default Up on blocks?

Maybe it's me, but I thought putting a car up on blocks meant supporting the suspension not the tires.

hehehe, maybe he was just trying to get it high enough so that it was easier to keep the grass cut under it?

Trying to find some reason......

Some places require you to have you car on concrete. My grandfather told me about a guy that had that happen so he took concrete and poured 4 1x1' squares in the yard and parked his car on them.

Looks like the paint may be the only thing holding that car together.

Is the bungee cord holding the fender on or the hood down?

Maybe the guy put it on those blocks because he didn't want the tires to sink in the mud during rain storms....
