Hit another road porcupine today.
Please tell me those aren’t paw prints all over the hood..
It looks kind of like a catfish.
NoNoNo… this is the rarely seen CARFish…
After 3 weeks feel free to remove the stitches and the healing should be complete.
It’s hard to believe that anyone would hope it would heal after stitching it with zip-ties. I don’t see any antibiotic ointment.
I thought they were acupuncture needles.
Nono, then they should stick in the fee, uhm, wheels!
Just cover the wound with duct tape. That ought to suffocate a lot of things.
ROFL
No-one is going to mess with this car again when this wound has healed — it’s going to turn into a badass scar.
Looks like it took it on the chin.
The natives are restless today. Too bad the Hovitos don’t know you the way I do.
You could tell them if only you knew how to speak Hovitos.
There’s a big snake in the plane, Chuck!
That’s just my pet chicken, Ferdinando.
I always wondered if the close proximity to dirty cats, as denoted by the abundance of paw prints on the hood, could lead to something like this in machinery. Most humans would probably just pick up a much less interesting ailment, like toxoplasmosis.
First came Frankenstein. Then along came Bride of Frankenstein. Now they get around town in Ford of Frankenstein.
I was thinking Frankenfocus.
All Fords are Frankensteined.
Fordenstein?
Fnord!
What a purrfect idea.
Could’ve trimmed the ends of the zip ties but that would’ve just drawn attention to it, this is much more subtle.
It’s still going to scar.
If they were going to go to all this effort to do such a tidy job, they could have at least used black zip ties.
Oh but they did! I count 4…maybe 5 of them.
I wonder if this is the outside of that not-really-a-left-hand-drive car from a few posts back. That would explain a lot.
except your compromised sense of road positioning would lead you being too far over to the left, not the right…
/brit who wound up doing the exact opposite on holiday in europe
(though the result was a screaming passenger letting me know when i needed to drift the other way, rather than any actual accidents)
Someone’s still using a single blade.
… and no toilet paper.
Mad SCIENCE: Crossing lolcats with NASCAR to bring you lolcars since NOW.
That’s weird enough science to make MST3K’s mad scientists happy.
Some teenager cars in their rebellious efforts to show independence often get carried away with their tatooed hoods and pierced bumpers. Only later do they finally come to their senses and realize that a caring family and true friends…they are the REAL ties that bind.
*Spongebob´s presentor voice* Ohhh another morning in bikini bottom, when the catcar apaered near Gary…
If you drive a car for 15 years, the least you can do for him is teach him how to shave.
plastic surgery gone wrong
Wait a minute…
That’s not a Toyota! It has no business with zip ties!
Chicks dig cars. Chicks dig scars. So naturally, they would dig a car with scars.
Introducing the 2010 Ford Suture.
First was the ‘Probe’.
Didn’t you know – zip ties are the new duct tape
Medical school flunkies end up in low rent auto mechanic shops after their school loans become crushing.
Wow I thought those were nails at first, and I was wondering “what the crap could they possibly be trying to fix by putting nails on their car”…
Driving for the blind just keeps getting more accessible.
Zip ties make a great TEMPORARY repair until you get the time and/or money to fix. If he had used all black Zip Ties and done it from behind it would have been hardly noticeable. In these time you have to be inventive.
How will you bondo that out
“No one will notice. Not even mom and dad.”
Trim the ends of the zip ties darken with a black magic marker and it is hardly noticable.
or just get black ties in the first place?
Nobody told the person it was a black tie affair.
that’s probably why they didn’t bother to shave either
Yup, it’s the new Ford Catfish, and tailfins are back!
S*car*face. Say hello to my leetle fren’.
Too dump or broke to get your car repaired the right way? Zip ties to the rescue!*
*some ugly may occur.
This seems like an awful lot of unneccessary work to achieve something that could be done with a couple of one-foot strips of duct tape :-/
Been there, done that to my daughters Toyota Echo, until she got the insurance check. Works/looks better if ya trim the zip ties, IMO
drift style!
in drifting competitions where bumpers are frequent casualties, the cars bodykits are very commonly held together with cable ties and duct tape. At the Open Drift Championships in Zandvoort, Holland last year a neighbouring team from France had a front bumper fail out on the track to between laps came in for emergency first aid to the car.
Despite the language gap between us (English) our team (Dutch) and the owners of the damaged car (French) we managed to help them get it sorted out by donating cable ties to “sew” the broken piece on again after drilling some holes, while I managed to indicate through mime and the little French I can remember how to pull the bent wing back so it wouldn’t interfere with the front wheel on lock, and to cut away the torn up section of the wheel arch trim.
Happily within about 10 minutes we had him back on track again – Drift competitions are nice and friendly like that, he may have been our competitor, but when someone’s car has taken a bit of damage, everyone pulls together to help regardless of whose team they’re working for.

So true, i use it for my rc car’s body and pretty much everything in the house
INDIANS!
Dahling, of course my car hasn’t had anything done! I keep it well-preserved with frequent oil changes and good, clean driving.
My dad’s a network cabler, he’s got an awsome set of tools….
Zip it!
Ah, this brings back fond memories of my Subaru, whose mudflap I jury rigged in similarly whiskered fashion en route to class one cold winter morning…
Frankenfender!!
Zip ties! Not just for closing trash bags any more!
Is that Pinhead’s car?
When a job is too big for Duct Tape, use Zip Ties.
Zipties + Meth =………
Acupuncture for the car
Well…It is a Ford.
they’re parking sensors, when they start to bend stop cause you are close enough ! brilliant
HEY EVERYBODY!. i’m the owner (yes really) of the said Focustein. i was sent a link and lol’d at all the comments. for people that care i broke the bumper on a drift a plow left. i didn’t want to spend money on a new bumper until after winter and i had ties around so i wanted to see what i could do. i know i should have done them on the inside. i started with black then the cold started to break them, so that’s why there’s white ones (having them on the outside helped pull out the broke ones. i didn’t have anything to clip them with and then it got really cold, they did get clipped though
the hood is actually wrapped with a wintery themed cloth. the hood was just a joke for the winter to replace a carbon fiber one. and the wrapped hood was damaged beyond repair to begin with
here are more pics

more duct tape and zip ties too come
glad i could bring some lolz to people
looks like it hat surgery and is sewed together to have only small scar
That cat will never catch the Bugatti Mouse.
After looking at the rest of the pictures, it looks as though we need to inform the SPCC ( the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Cars)….lol
