Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 12-10-2008(114): I wanted a convertible so I chopped off the top of my car with an axe.

2) [mcfate] 30-9-2007(43): A "chop shop" is a place where stolen cars are taken, and parts chopped off with an axe, to be sold.

3) [herman] 24-11-2008(23): Picture a death-mobile car with rotating axes on the hood that drives by and chops off people's heads. [beheading is another common meaning].

4) [Nukemarine] 23-5-2008(4): Seen before in "Steadily" and "Temporarily". Both stories talked about taking an AXE to a CAR. Here, either take the horror movie approach where a driver in a CAR had his head CHOPPED OFF by a maniac with an AXE, or take the CHOP OFF shop approach where a guy is cutting up a CAR with an AXE.

5) [synewave] 17-2-2007(3): In movies cars often have their tops chopped off as if with an axe.
