That makes absolutely no sense. How could they lift the car by stacking bricks under them? There were a couple of cars that are already resting on bricks - making your explanation bogus.
Regardless, that has to be one of the most stupid things to do with a car.

For people who obsess so completely about vehicles, why is it that they produce none of their own?
