TAMPA - A marketing tour buzzed through Tampa on Thursday as a member of a demolition crew used an industrial strength hacksaw to cut a Nissan in half. Electric Supply and Lenox hosted Team Hackman, described as a bunch of "master cutters," which used a monster reciprocating saw to gnaw through the car in one minute and 29 seconds. The team travels across the country to slice up cars, buses, trucks, houses, planes, trains and anything else they can get their hands on, according to a written announcement of the visit. Joey Robinson was the cutter on Thursday afternoon, laying blade to the 1993 Nissan at Electric Supply on North Manhattan Avenue.
