Don't know if the idea will interest anyone else, but one of my car forums has a long running thread called "What did you do to your car today?"
A couple days ago I had the car all cleaned up, and happened to be dressed up nice for work. That night I was digging through some old family photos, and found a photo of my grandfather standing next to his car with his brothers at the house they grew up in. It inspired me, so the next day I cleaned the car back up, got dressed back up, and thanks to the agreeable weather, remade that photo, sans brothers, at my own house. It took the heavy tripod, the good camera, some bricks (due to the wind), and some suggestions from the neighbor across the street (I was shooting from her yard, but I managed to get it just about right. I even pulled the lattice down under the porch to match the old photo.
Sadly I can't post the old photo until I can get my copy stand set back up, since the original is in an old frame and stuck to the glass. But I think you'll get the idea.
