This is Twilight-Zone level of incomprehensible. I’ll assume I’m the only one who is completely baffled and walk away slowly.
Oh crap, I get it now. Higher resolution would have helped, though. Still no idea what “scratching it with soccer gear” is supposed to imply.
The handyman’s (and woman’s) secret weapon …
Red Green Rules!
If the soccer mom’s don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
If it ain’t broke, you ain’t trying!

$:) this MUST be Red Green’s favorite website!!! $:D …DUCT TAPE! Better than Bondo!!
If Steve Smith knew how to operate a mouse, we could probably say Hi to him right now and expect to get a reply.
Always a good idea to have plenty of the universal adapter on hand while traveling. Also makes a dandy cupholder.
Duct tape win I say.
I don’t get it. What’s the Kludge? All I see is a minivan with scratches.
They’re not scratches, they’re creases. She covered the entire car with duct tape.
Where does it say it was a woman?
Logic…it’s a minivan…so this was obviously no redneck, meaning the only other option is a woman
it’s not scratched, it’s completely covered in duct tape. I had to zoom in to see it too.
Nah, there’s no WAY it can rust now! That tape won’t hold water against the paint! They should have made sure to do this in a dry garage and then put a clear coat of packing tape over the duct tape!! Foolish soccer parents!!
I am a man
I can change
If I have to
I guess
Amen
Hey Red – If you read this can we get a new season of the Red Green Show on PBS????
PLEEEEEEASE???????? The world needs more Adventures With Bill, too. (And Edgar Montrose the explosives expert.)
sadly, i think he has retired…
Red (Steve Smith) is doing a “ONE MAN” tour across the North American Continent.
His website is red green dot com
But, i’m sure it will not be as good as the show
The Possum Lodge Game Warden was a hoot.
this one doesn’t need traction control to make it stick to the roads…
It’ll never come off. I wonder what the Kelly’s Blue Book Value is now?
Over $9000.
Is that with or without the tape?
OVER 9000?!?!!!
That’s impossible!!
Actually, at high speeds with a little moisture, it’ll probably peel off quite a bit over time. At least that’s what’s happened with every duct tape car repair I’ve ever seen.
I’d say the car is worth much more like that. Though it will indeed come off and I’d say it is most likely to come off of the hood since heat will bring it off.
The tape will come off, yes, but not the glue. Although my mom used to spread on some peanut butter for that.
I still dont know how you scrath a car with a round ball
I assume it was the previous owner who paid for custom rims.
But not for the fancy bare foot-shaped gas pedal.
They’re covers (hubcaps).
Hubcaps are the most scratch-prone parts of the car and they forgot to tape those.
Note to self: Make sure all the cars I own in the future are painted in duct tape gray…just in case.
Just need some primer gray, but you’ll need to apply it with a crackle medium if you want to get this effect right.
Wait, is that Duch tape?
No, it’s duct tape. (:
epic win!!!
First step in car painting: tape the area you don’t want to paint. Done!
Second step: paint the area you want to paint. Done!
Third step: remove tape. Done! Ho !@#$%?&! Repeat all steps!
This must be the car that high schools take to prom when they enter the Duct Tape Scholarship. (It’s when they make their dresses and tuxes out of Duct Tape.)
A poor man’s paint job. Duct tape comes in other colors too so you could really get exotic with this concept.
Whoever did this believes in being traditional. Silver grey all the way.
Dang… Their Plymouth Voyager beats my Dodge Grand Caravan in ‘number of pieces held on by duct tape’
What do you mean? It’s still all in one piece, isn’t it?
Uhmmm… Kinda? It’s forced back into one piece…
I WANT MY WIFE’S VAN BACK !
Thus proving that duct tape does indeed fix everything.
Wouldn’t the tape’s adheasive corode the paint?
Oh my god…it’s going to be a total mess when it gets hot outside. So sticky…ew
SHWEET DUCK TAPE!! Yup, duck not duct. duh! See now if I were them tho I’d be pissed if I didn’t get paid for this. These kids in my class back in high school got these huge scholarships for wearing a prom dress and tux made entirely out of duct tape. I’d say the unbearable uncomfortableness of that would be worth the $$$.
wow.
I’d like to see it burning :>
Whoever did this paint job really stuck it to her.
I was just thinking that I would’ve used some colored duct tape to make pinstripes or flames too, why waste the time if you’re not going to go all the way. Maybe this is just the first step?
That’s the primer coat.
Day 172: Duct taped Lots of Dr. Sholl’s To a minivan I found in the parking lot of the Hardware Store’s parking lot. Next i plan to mount a machine gun made of paper towels and Jonas brothers CDs I found in the checkout line on the top of it…
Day 173:
MY GOD! my plan has backfired completely! The Toilet paper tubes have Combined with the duct tape and created a CD player! Now the Jonas Brothers CD’s are playing nonstop! not only has this alerted all the zombies nearby, but Its annoying the hell out of me! starting to think about ending it all.
You’ve got this all wrong. Perp robs bank and uses red mini van as getaway car. Perp applies duct tape. Presto, no more red mini van.
No one will notice a thing.
And in 6 months, when the sun and weather make the tape start to disintegrate, it’s going to look like the MummyMobile as it starts peeling off.
nothing says poor craftsmanship like wrinkles in your duct tape……
Nobody cares about quality anymore.
It’s a lot faster than the old fingernail polish method. I saw online where a woman touched up her car with fingernail polish until she had a colorful patchwork paint job.
This is a new technique in the paint job industry. If the person doesn’t like the new color on their car, they can simply remove the tape and go back to the previous color.
that is awesome
BRILLIANT! aimply brilliant
*sniffle* Red Green would be so proud!
Wow XD someone had a lot of time and even more duct tape xP nevertheless awesome
I saw a VW van done up in black and red ducktape in Amarillo Tx. I stopped to take a picture just as the owner came out of the store and he told me he had lime twenty plus hours, and way too much money into something that could have been done with forty bucks in spraypaint and a six pack of beer for him and a friend…….. duh!
McGyver’s soccer minivan
The words “what” and “why” spring to mind.
whoops!! missed a spot…..
Ehhhhhh Red Green I found your Van!!!!
