RE: Why must people jerry rig cars?
wow a quad on a lumina....... id like to see that one hehe.
ive seen some simaler things.
my dad used sheet metal tape to patch an exhaust leak on his 69 chevelle. the car looked great it was a shame to do that to it. my friend screwed a sheet metal patch to his leaking ford exhaust. of course shortly after he did the motor gave out. nothing could fix that. it crapped out at 85K just one more reason for me to hate fords.
this is the worst one. saw a big cadillac eldo that started its life as a hard top. of course that wouldnt work for this guy. so he cut the roof off and used tent poles and a big blue tarp to make a convertable top. as if that wasnt bad enough he gave it a 5 degree rake. and some nice big rusty side pipes...... this is no joke. it was a rolling abomanation.

Saw an old Monte Carlo made into a flatbed. A tiny, tiny flatbed.

The best is when you come across a car with a steel bar welded to the block for a "cheap" but retarded fix to a busted motor mount.

Watch Pimp My Ride. Those are some wacked out fixes. I remember the one with the kid that had the escort that had the front half of one car and the rear end of another car welded together to make one car. Drywall screws holding in the front bumper. I saw a car on the road the other day. it was an old rickedey Buick that had two doughnuts on it, a plastic sheet for a window, obviously the shocks were shot, no muffler at all, and on the hood were a couple of large fake hood scoops. Oh, and he had an american flag on the antennea. I wanted to pull up in front of him and run his car over with my truck it was so bad.

hehe so much good stuff.
You should see it over here. Im sure most of you are familiar with the term " Rice" to desribe little stickered up hondas with drag spoilers, apexi fart cans and so on. Well over here there are tons of them. most of them all show and no go. These are the most comminly ghetto fabbed rides. Saw an 80 something accord with Type R badges all over it. It had one wellfare window in the rear. and was dragging his exhaust when he hit a bump. not to mention many dents as well as an unpainted body kit. This is kind of off the subject but i think its funny. The guy driving it thought he'd impress his friends by beating me out on a merging lane. I was driving a barrowed ford explorer ( i felt dirty driving it ). Its a terrable truck, when you floor it it sounds like someone is gargleing listerine under the hood. basicly a rolling circus mobile. Long story short i stompped him. and oh was he mad. pulled up next to me flipping me off and yelling. Thats a game i love to play so i yelled back. Told him that his dang Type R badges dont add any horses. and laughed because he got stommped by a truck that barrely runs. so yeah off the subject but i had to share it with someone.

Saw an older Accord dragging the sides of his body kit on the ground while driving, double sided sticky tape didn't hold.

1968 chevy C-10 Pickup....hydraulic "hay bale stabbers" made of random long heavy duty pieces of welded together steel, coming to sharp points....pointing out the rear of the bed ...could impale a vehicle and lift it up in the air. The controls for this....cut into the floorboard and sealed with a gallon or so of CAULK. On the sheet metal, large steel springs and pieces of heavy duty scrap metal welded all over the sides of the truck as "tool holders" with tools stuck inside them...like hammers. Chicken wire streched across the front of the truck and around to the fenders and welded. Just CAULK... lots and lots of CAULK. And DENTS...lots of dents too. And rust...very sad. Yay for Texas.
