  1. jim har says:

    In Wisconsin this stuff is a way of life!!! Duct tape is what us guys in Illinois call “Wisconsin steel”

  2. jim har says:

    I’ll bet they spray painted it with red rustoleum for the finishing touch….rough winters up there in Wisconsin!!!!!!

  3. jim har says:

    Come to think of it…….there is no problem that duct tape can’t fix

  4. Rampart says:

    “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.”

  5. erin says:

    unless they complete the pinstriping, he’ll definetely notice

  6. dono1 says:

    The latest safety standard: external airbags.

  7. JBD says:

    There’s a lot of red tape before you can get your car fixed by your car insurance company…

  8. Mary says:

    I suppose the gas tank cap is one the other side?

  9. jim har says:

    What did he do about the brake light?

  10. Murb says:

    If he really wanted to fool Dad, he’d use red cellophane over the brake light.

  11. Josef says:

    Thats why i say always have tape at home. :-)

  12. Derelict says:

    I’ll bet that almost looks good in the dark.

  13. Prime example of how much auto insurance sucks these days. Cutting corners everywhere. jk

  14. Akira Oni says:

    “I needed to subtract a little weight from the car.”

  15. Midnight says:

    Notice what? :P

  16. amnoyomnoose says:

    I like how she continued to tape the spoiler. Nice touch, but would she need to reapply more tape after opening the trunk?

  17. dono1 says:

    Forget Dad. This looks more like Mummy’s car.

  18. Daniel says:

    If this person shows this same level of commitment to any other enterprise, s/he should succeed. As a car repair, fail.

  19. That Guy says:

    @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!”

  20. dono1 says:

    That Guy :@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)

  21. Daniel says:

    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.

  22. JBD says:

    Far better That Guy than mine!

  23. D. says:

    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.

  24. dono1 says:

    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…”)

  25. stormoftara says:

    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…

  26. Peter Brown says:

    He may not notice – if you are a blonde.

  27. Badgirl says:

    Good eyes dono. The dog would never think to sniff there.

  28. F. Castle says:

    Looks like they work here: http://www.mastermindmarketing.com/

  29. JH says:

    After getting a medical degree, she looked at her car’s broken tail in a new light…

  30. Paddy says:

    This is still better looking than some of the cheap plastic body kits I’ve seen on the Japanese tuners.

  31. ford guy says:

    @stormoftara
    yea except thats not an escort from the looks of it its deff a toyota i think its a tracell

  32. scrappyhen says:

    Honey…have you seen my red nailpolish?

  33. wind says:

    i hope theres nothing perishable in the boot. :S

  34. jim says:

    only if he’s 95 and blind

  35. Paddy says:

    I think it’s a Celica, actually.

  36. Professor Mischief says:

    Of course he wont, only one problem, where is the tail light?

  37. FixMaster 2k says:

    Do you want to sign my cast?

  38. joeatl says:

    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.

  39. JT says:

    Down in Kentucky we call it Duct Welding

  40. WTF says:

    Looks solid enough

  41. karth says:

    @Mary
    It looks like it is a 5th gen Celica, so yes, the gas cap is on the driver’s side.

  42. KGB Kenny says:

    Midnight :Notice what?

    nice.

  43. CrionLord says:

    Another poor car shunned by society just because it’s a burn victim…

  44. Kadee says:

    Must’ve red it in the manual.

  45. Dad’ll only be fooled if he’s a fool

  46. Jstar says:

    I got a BLUE Taurus .. and the inevitable rusting out of the rear quarter panel is just part of life for us Taurus owners. Soon mine will look like this one. :-(
