Some folks will tell you that certain things can’t be fixed . I would counter with, “Everything can be fixed and made to work, but sometimes the effort isn’t worth it.”
Indeed, you have to admire the creativity — but question the judgment — shown in these pics.
RELATED STORIES
“Happy Meal in resin.”
I’m not going to act like I’m better than Chicken McNuggets and an order of fries. But I don’t love them to the point that I’d do something like this with them.
“Saw this abandoned home in Alabama a few years ago.”
A spacious van can be turned into a living space, but I’m a little bit baffled by why it’s buried in the ground.
“Saran wrap fixes anything… wait, maybe duct tape.”
If you saw this pillar, you’d probably realize it’s a bad idea to stand under any roof it’s supporting. The plastic wrap doesn’t add much confidence, either.
“Looking good back there.”
I love this fix because it’s cheap and easy, and it would actually work pretty well. Not sure if it’s street legal, but it’s still clever.
“Rust repair with asphalt shingles.”
Rust will get to every vehicle eventually, especially if you’re driving somewhere that salts the roads. This fix actually looks pretty good.
“I engineered my way out of buying cufflinks. I am one cheap redneck.”
Cufflinks don’t make much sense and never have made much sense. This might not be the most elegant solution, but it’s definitely an affordable one.
“Saw.”
Looking at this, I’m not entirely sure how it works. I’m not sure I want to know, either. I do know that I’d want to wear goggles when using it, however.
“My steering wheel stand, works great!”
This actually looks like a great alternative to a full driving rig. Just don’t pull too hard on that steering wheel.
“Tie rod went out. Threads would no longer fit. Duct taped it and drove the 35 miles home.”
I understand some of the words in the caption. Duct tape truly is a miraculous invention, but it’s not going to hold your car’s components together for long.
“Second story hot tub. Why not?”
Is there any reason they couldn’t just put this hot tub, like, on the ground? It’s positioned to be a death trap someday.
“Ever feel like you’re being watched?”
You see a lot of weird things sold in online groups, and here’s one such example. I don’t want to be watched by googly eyed Jesus any more than you do.
“Ever thought ‘why can’t I bring that smooth porcelain toilet look to my front yard?’ Me neither.”
Here’s the thing about toilets: if you’re going to install one, you’d better be prepared for people to use it occasionally. That’s one huge gamble.
“Megatron?”
I know that having a million different remotes is a hassle and all, but I’m not sure if this solution is really that elegant. Cheap? Sure. But not elegant.
“My wife painted our bedroom.”
I don’t want to slam her effort in painting this room, but it kind of looks like a nightmarish hellscape. I wouldn’t want to wake up in here.
“Humidifier: wet tissue on radiator.”
I suppose this is one way to get humidity into the air, so bravo. It’s like the inverse of a homemade air conditioner.
“Roof leak, schmoof leak.”
The title kind of mocks roof leaks, and I can say from experience that no one should take roof leaks lightly.
“If it works…”
You could look at this car for awhile without noticing how unusual its left front headlight is. So, good work with the subtle solution?
“A spot where an MTA (from NY) worker stands when a train is about to come.”
This is obviously a smart idea, but could they maybe give workers a little more room to work with?
“Please look at how my adorable mom is fixing holes in my dad’s work clothes.”
This is a cute idea, but you never want the patch job to bring attention to where your clothes were ripped.
“DOGS OWN THE TRUCK!”
If Mad Max featured more dogs, this is clearly what at least some of the vehicles would look like.
