From what I understand, it was a publicity stunt designed to put Tulsa on the map. I don't know if the 'tax payers' got stuck with the bill - but you have to admit, it's put Tulsa, Ok. circa 2007 on the map - so maybe those rubes should be applauded for their far-sightedness.
Probably cost what, maybe 5 grand tops, back then, for the car, concrete, backhoe operator, landscaping, etc.. Imagine what it's brought Tulsa this week in restaurant and hotel revenues. Probably did the same when it was buried. Great idea on somebody's part!

AND THEN...Some lucky person will transfer the soggy title to the high bidder car museum and end up with a new house. Not too bad for just having the right sperm donor...

What a great story! Kind of a win win win all around!
