The only explanation I can come up with is that because these trees are so large you are constantly trying to give some scale to them, so a six foot square hole with a car in it really does give some indication of just how big these trees are.

The Chandelier Tree
Today is our last 'Big Redwood Day', we are driving back down to the coast, to Fort Bragg, but we are stopping on the way to see the Chandelier Tree. This tree is famous as in the 1930's someone cut a hole through the trunk. The tree is so large that a car can be driven through the hole! We couldn't miss that. The tree itself is beautiful and very large, although we could not get our truck and trailer through we did watch as other people drove their own cars through quite easily. I don't quite know what the fascination is of driving your car though a hole in a tree, but it was great fun.
