Nooooooooo! Noooooooooo! Noooooooooooo!
Forget anti-skip function, I’m thinking the driver needs to wear some protection for when that thing falls and lands on his lap or feet.
Yikes!
The driver doesn’t need to worry about protection, its on the passenger’s side.
Hey, it’s the Moto Rokr, Stereo Edition!
Not pictured in this photo: the window cling that says “Please do not steal my radio!”
Name the type of car/truck and year
So far, I can only think of an early 90′s Ford truck. Lets see everyone else’s guess.
I wuz gonna say ’80′s GM car, but I make out the reflection in the window to be a Ford van
I am guessing mid-to-late 1990s Chrysler minivan.
Cheap MoPar wannabe woodgrain and square styling says it all. Well, that and the incredible “ingenuity” it takes to save $5 by duct-taping a stolen CD player to your dash instead of getting a $5 tape deck at Pull N Save… Pure MoPar there.
“Why waste food stamps when you can be a stingy bastard and get more meth?” should be the new Chrysler motto.
I believe you’ve got the model, though this looks more like a 1985-1995 model year.
1956 Hudson Hornet on it’s way to the Pimp shoppe.
At first I was thinking GM from the dash style, then I looked at the wiring from the hole where the old radio used to be.
Those are definitely Chrysler(jeep,dodge) stereo wiring plugs and braided steel grounding strap. (I install car stereos for a living). No clue precisely which year / model however. Can’t see the end of the antenna cable, but I bet it’s a normal Motorola plug given the age of the vehicle.
I was also gonna say the interior looked Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth-ish. My mom had 2 Chrysler New Yorkers and I had a Dodge Spirit and even though this is a van the dashboard setup and molding is fairly similar.
My fiancee used to have an old Saturn and the previous owner hated music so ripped the radio out. My fiancee couldn’t afford a new car stereo. He should’ve done something like this, it would’ve cured the intense boredom he felt everytime he drove
Looks like a post 1984 redesign Chrysler K car, either a Reliant or Aries.
Yes, you can buy theft resistant clear tape at your favorite auto parts store. I wonder if the kludger went so far as to power it from the vehicle…. methinks not. I’ll bet they ordered the wood grain trim kit for it, though.
Kludge with a concern for design: the radio and dashboard color match!
“… the car has ON dashboard CD/AM/FM radio!”
All this effort for a CD/AM/FM player yet everything he listens to has been taped.
I LOL’d.
Hope this guy has anti-theft snake in his car or else someone might steal his sweet ghetto blaster.
Ghetto modded ghetto blaster. Makes sense.
Favorite artists of the driver include the Carpenters with their 1970 hit, ‘(They Long to Be ) Duct Taped to You’.
Note: Taping a small Decepticon to your dashboard does NOT make your car a Transformer!
THAT’S IT! It’s “MR FIX IT’S” van!!!
That, my friends, is a 91 plymouth grand voyager. Used to have the same exact one.
The same exact one? You sold it with that sweet on-dash entertainment system included?!
my parents used to have an 85 or 87. I remember the trim and this looks familiar. It was just a Plymouth Voyager. No Grand.
Excuse me, but why didn’t you use duct tape? Its much better!!
This kludge is so cheap, I’m guessing whoever did this just stole some packing tape from work and used that instead of actually paying for a roll of duct tape.
Honey, I said put the tape IN the stereo, not ON it!
realy no duct tape
Nice job coordinating the purple of the stereo with the purple of the dash.
Early prototype for the iBox dashboard docking system.
Boy, that sure looks like a liquor store he’s parked in front of. Maybe that’s why he can’t afford a cd player for his car?
That’s not even duct tape it’s cello packing tape!!guess the 8 track’s in the shop!!
LOL, this really is a system of proof and evidence leap of thieves, who would want something like that? : D
Oooh walnut trim… classy.
Use for Duct Tape # 388. Is there no end to its uses?
Dude…I think that’s my parents old mini-van…
I told them my van needed a new tape deck – not a taped-up deck!
On a hot day, in direct sunlight, that CD player won’t work anymore! I should know, I did something similar! I just didn’t tape anything to my dash like that
Was a sad day when the lens got heat damage 
Then I bought myself a real car radio!
Anti-Skip is for suckers.
that is chrysler voyager maybe year 1991
or Plymouth Voyager
a redneck setup obviously. But then again, it also shows yet another use for the handyman’s secret weapon : duct tape !
Hey, it’s air-cooled.
Scotch tape makes things so much funnier, sheerly because you have to use so f-ckin much to make things work.
