Develop a patch of well beaten earth out front - make sure that it gets
good and dusty in dry weather and, well hell you wouldn't want to get
under the truck in wet weather ey? If that fails, resort to concrete.
lots of it. Paint it green if necessary.

Guy 'round the corner from me has three cars jacked up in the shed -
guess that makes him a millionaire redneck?

Can you eat the stuff? If not. I recommend Zero/Roundup (glyphosate) at
around ten times recommended strength. No result - go to Garlon - that
kills everything. If it doesn't, Trichlopyr (sp?) based woody weed
killer. A horticultural friend of mine has this kerosene burner path
clearing device that looks like a small jet engine - very satisfying
roaring sound and a huge fat blue flame about 12" wide and a yard long
- cook the bastard. If it comes back, learn to love it, tell people
that it has a certain beauty to it, the way that it subtly chokes
everything else and so on. Any culture that thinks Mcdonalds is good
can learn to love anything.
