I wish I spoke Portuguese. Although the Google translation of that comment is pretty darned funny Engrish. “…is not capable of feathers left over to tell the story…”
But, to be contrarian, I bet you would be able to see the chicken crossing the road. This looks like a great re-use of stuff the guy had lying around the garage: old bashed up shelving unit, some Jesus bolts from the bucket, headlights from the 8 half-built motorcycles in the front yard…wait a minute! That’s my neighbor!
Hehe babelfish also gives an amusing translation:
“It goes to confuse the vision and, if porventura, to collect a penosa in the way it asphalt, is capable of nor sobrar penalty to count history”
Maybe its not Portugese but only something similar. Its not spanish.
Anyone else notice that there are lines of char marks under some of the lights? That means that he mis-wired it, possibly more than once, and the wires burned themselves and their insulation up. Have you ever seen wires burn up and melt their insulation off? Not pleasant!
Claudio said something like:
“The driver`s field of view will be compromised, and if by any chance he tramples a chicken, i guess not even the feathers will be left to tell the tale.”
And yes, it’s Portuguese. Bad Portuguese.

Those aren’t char marks, that’s black dirt that’s streaked down the hood from when the radiator boiled over and steam went shooting through the bolt holes. That happens all the time and shorts out the main headlights, which is what this fix is for. The car runs fine, really. The boil over happens when he gets to the top of the hill; by the time he coasts down the other side he’s at work and can pour some more water back in. It’s just kind of tricky doing that in the dark…

Exactly what Claudio Said in Portuguese
Day I Forget: I have now installed headlights on my car that are improved with zombie spotting radar. I can now spot zombies on the road and be careful not to forget to run over them.
Vai atrapalhar a visão e, se porventura, arrecadar uma penosa no meio do asfalto, é capaz de nem sobrar penas para contar a história…..

Did he try to make his car look like a lancia stratos or something? Or does he just really like the way rally lights look?

My Italian is a little rusty but roughly translated, Claudio said:
Something, something ‘poor Ventura’, something, ‘Uma’ (Thurman?), something, ‘asphalt’, something, something, ‘sober penis’, something ‘hysterectomy’.
Ha, ha! Quello buon, Claudio!
Now they’re ready to go rally racing down their pothole-ridden driveway!

Paris-Dakar here I come! (bacause not good enough to handle Canadian HWY!)

Those are BMW headlights, for the record…
Oh no, if the high beam wasn’t enough. This’ll blind everyone!
Especially deer!

@hosebunny
That’s all Greek to me.
Este sitio siendo mucho internacional!
Want! Only I’d like mine on my rear hatch for tailgaters…
Greek? This is Sparta!! Oh wait…no, that’s Russian
Poor man’s rally car.
Bolts? Where are the bolts? You’re giving the guy too much credit. It looks to me like he nailed the straps to the hood.
Can you see me now?
Creo que no esta persona no entendio el concepto de “velocidad de la Luz”
I think this guy couldn´t understand the concept o speed of light
(sorry for my english)
@Hache – well done my friend.
Don’t follow this car. Wherever he’s going, it’s very, VERY dark there.
Like the duct tape ‘speed stripes.’

Accessories by Erector Set…
So this is what happens to old erector set pieces when the kids grow up.
Yay!!! Redneck Rallye. Coming to a NASCAR track near you!!! SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!
the erector set projector set
@VEXARR THAT’S A BIG 10/4
If you hate it now, just wait until you drive it!
Finally, angle iron gets the respect it deserves.
Yeah! after duct tape and zipties, meet the new item of predilection in the redneck fixer’s arsenal: pre-notched angle iron.
I never though that Mecano was doing fog lights…
HA HA HA! That’s right Zombies! Betcha thought I didn’t know that multiple bulbs burn your grey festering flesh!
We don’t need no stinking badges!!
“That’ll teach that cop … broken headlights my ass.”
This is hot stuff! Looks so rough… I wonder how are the seats of this machine… maybe eletric chairs?
The police department in the area REALLY needs your support
Finally a rally car on a redneck budget
For when blinding one deer at a time just isn’t fast enough.
Can’t get enough of that Sugar Crisp…
