But giant billboards along a main highway call attention to a less appealing local industry. "WELCOME TO LANCASTER ... HOME TO 100'S OF PUPPY MILLS," reads one sign.

If there's any solace for Wagoner, it's that he isn't the only car guy in the hot seat.

...similar house with large side doors "so the interior feels like it's spilling outside," he says. The Shot Trot retains the shotgun's basic shape but replaces its railroad-style rooms with an airier, more open-plan layout. Just 16 ft. by 80 ft., it's perfect for narrow inner-city lots.
