In Wisconsin this stuff is a way of life!!! Duct tape is what us guys in Illinois call “Wisconsin steel”
I’ll bet they spray painted it with red rustoleum for the finishing touch….rough winters up there in Wisconsin!!!!!!
Come to think of it…….there is no problem that duct tape can’t fix
“There was just a little crack in the fender, but after that first strip of tape went on…well, it was like I realized what I was meant to do in this world. The rest is history. A brilliant, red, beautiful history.”
unless they complete the pinstriping, he’ll definetely notice
The latest safety standard: external airbags.
There’s a lot of red tape before you can get your car fixed by your car insurance company…
I suppose the gas tank cap is one the other side?
What did he do about the brake light?
If he really wanted to fool Dad, he’d use red cellophane over the brake light.
Thats why i say always have tape at home.
I’ll bet that almost looks good in the dark.
Prime example of how much auto insurance sucks these days. Cutting corners everywhere. jk
“I needed to subtract a little weight from the car.”
Notice what?
I like how she continued to tape the spoiler. Nice touch, but would she need to reapply more tape after opening the trunk?
@jim har
We do?
Forget Dad. This looks more like Mummy’s car.
If this person shows this same level of commitment to any other enterprise, s/he should succeed. As a car repair, fail.
@JBD – I like it, but would have gone with:
“When the insurance company told that guy there would be a lot of red tape involved in fixing his car, they weren’t kidding!”
Even better to keep it brief and put the punch line at the end, as in:
Some insurance companies make you go through a lot of red tape.
(still JBD, I wish I’d thought of it)
We are being pretty serious about humor today. A free workshop and everything. I can’t make good jokes but I can cook. Try the fish, I’ll be here all week.
Far better That Guy than mine!
I’ve seen wallets made of duct tape, and even prom tuxedos and dresses made of duct tape. But he still has a long way to go if he’s going to make a car out of duct tape.
I swear there’s a carton of cigarettes or something under that tape. Is it my eyes or does anybody else see it too? (“Comin’ into Los Angeles… bringin’ in a couple of keys…”)
That looks like my car…minus some of the duct tape. But seriously, Ford Escorts are terrible cars. Mine is dead sitting in a parking lot somewhere…
He may not notice – if you are a blonde.
Good eyes dono. The dog would never think to sniff there.
Looks like they work here: http://www.mastermindmarketing.com/
After getting a medical degree, she looked at her car’s broken tail in a new light…
This is still better looking than some of the cheap plastic body kits I’ve seen on the Japanese tuners.
@stormoftara
yea except thats not an escort from the looks of it its deff a toyota i think its a tracell
Honey…have you seen my red nailpolish?
i hope theres nothing perishable in the boot. :S
only if he’s 95 and blind
I think it’s a Celica, actually.
Of course he wont, only one problem, where is the tail light?
Do you want to sign my cast?
Oh god I pass this car every day while running. It gets worse. The sunroof is gone and replaced with duct tape and a painters clear tarp cut out so light can pass through. This also doesn’t show where the tape has faded on the rear of the car, and turned orange/yellow.
Down in Kentucky we call it Duct Welding
Looks solid enough
@Mary
It looks like it is a 5th gen Celica, so yes, the gas cap is on the driver’s side.
nice.
Another poor car shunned by society just because it’s a burn victim…
Must’ve red it in the manual.
