    Your shirt look ugly – please fix it!

  2. MacGyver says:

    I can only hope for the sake of this car’s owner that the car’s other problems make enough noise at highway speeds to drown out the sound of this kludge slapping against the door.

  3. Carin says:

    And they live in a log cabin.

  4. kc/cc says:

    Pretty soon, an overwhelming desire kicks in to shingle the whole car. Learn to recognize the early signs.

    A least they can login.

  8. Dogmeat says:

    The constant *thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack thwack* noise driving down the road is enough to drive anyone crazy…but especially is that the case for the dogs. Like a siren’s song, the flapping handle calls to them and ultimately lures them to their untimely demise.

  9. SCAScot says:

    Finally, Toyota gets a handle on quality.

  10. treborx says:

    Aboriginal pierced door pull.

  11. LockSmithHustla says:

    solid repair

  12. kc/cc says:

    Just what is that in there– a million scratch marks, or a whole lot of dryer lint?

  13. Jompe71 says:

    If I pull it will I:
    a) open the door and be of on the road or…
    b) get a number with an estimated time when it’s my turn to take a drive.

  14. slapch0p says:

    The window crank is a chicken bone.

  15. Pat says:

    Judging by the state of the car’s body, this doesn’t surprise me in the least.

  16. Schneiderman says:

    So this is what Ford meant when they said they were making cars with natural materials.

  17. Jompe71 says:

    You think as a thief you got it all covered. Brake into the car using the old school duck tape trick, no fingerprints what so ever to give you up.
    Wrong! If you’ve ever seen CSI ( Miami, NY or LV ) you should know that the reflection of the door will give you up.
    The CSI team will at this point not only know your identity, they will even know your are a virgin!

  18. herds789 says:

    Pull for stupidity.

  19. Jeffos says:

    Dang! My door handle snapped off last year, and I spent $30 on a replacement. If only I’d seen this first…

  20. Ducked Ape says:

    Don’t you feel silly now? Think of all the sticks you could have bought with that $30. ALL your doors could have been upgraded like this.

  21. herds789 says:

    He had to replace the original door handle for sticking.

  22. Fanboy Wife says:

    How often do we get to see duct tape, nature, and modern technology working harmoniously together like this?

  23. pm says:

    I can tell this is a Dodge Caravan. Been there, done that.

  24. CT says:

    The junk yard dealer quoted him $30 for a replacement handle. He was outraged and replied, “Stick it!” Thus, an idea was born.

  25. notanengineer says:

    *remembers his English lessons reading Macbeth and looks up on Wikiquote*:


    * Macbeth: If we should fail —
    Lady Macbeth: We fail!
    But screw your courage to the sticking-place,
    And we’ll not fail.

    Scene VII

    • kc/cc says:

      It’s been long enough since I got out of school for me to not be too great at quoting Shakespeare. Instead, he has been replaced by the Disney music that’s now ringing in my ears:

      Light your torch, mount your horse
      Screw your courage to the sticking place
      We’re counting on Gaston to lead the way
      Through a mist, through a wood
      Where within a haunted castle
      Something’s lurking that you don’t see every day
      It’s a beast, one as tall as a mountain
      We won’t rest ‘til he’s good and deceased
      Sally forth, tally ho
      Grab your sword, grab your bow
      Praise the Lord and here we go
      To kill the beast!

      Guess if he typically had some really catchy music and an animated cast, he’d still be with me. *sigh*

      • kc/cc says:

        This is going to be doubly annoying, because first comment is in moderation. Apologies for doing this even once! This is just an experiment to see what’s getting caught:

        Light your torch, mount your horse
        Scr*w your courage to the sticking place
        We’re counting on Gaston to lead the way
        Through a mist, through a wood
        Where within a haunted castle
        Something’s lurking that you don’t see every day

        Grab your sword, grab your bow
        Praise the Lord and here we go
        To k*ll the beast!

        • kc/cc says:

          It’s “k*ll”, isn’t it?? I’ll add that to my list from this week:

          c*cktail
          k*ll

          Feel free to shout “f*ck”, if you want, though. I can’t even pronounce those other two now. Must have a glottal stop or something.

  26. And I thought our zip-tie door-handle was bad!

  27. TexasDan says:

    Laugh all you want. This is actually a test prototype for the next generation of Government Motors cars.

  28. Thadius says:

    In case of fire…

    Well I dunno what to tell you.

  29. Wynn says:

    What an amazing idea. This will allow the Amish to own a car without them having to ditch their rituals!

  30. Chris says:

    Beats going in through the window.

  31. dono1 says:

    Better than finding a hooked hand hanging there in the morning. Bwah-hah-hah!

  32. Toilet Rolls says:

    Toilet Roll, say no more LOL
