Things that make you go hmmmmm...

I just love 3rd world ingenuity, at least it's always good for a laugh. Sometimes people can actually be pretty brilliant in making something from nothing, (or very little). This one just makes me scratch my head, though...

When I think of the energy it took to "fabricate" this, couldn't he have just gotten a used shell for $50 or something?

Looks hilarious from behind:

Way to go, making fun of a handicapped person. I'll bet you're real proud of yourself.

What makes you think that he's handicapped? The fact that he's sitting in the HC spot outside of AutoZone? I've seen him walk, he's no cripple. A little stupid maybe but that's about it.

I didn't see an HC stick on the vehicle, you are assuming facts not in evidence.

Is that a CA plate?

How does that pass inspection?

Must have the correct cat.

I know this is a fun tread but... In reality thats what he had to work with. First he probably doesn't have $50.00 to feed his family. So again while this is a fun thread whom ever is driving this vehicle that is probably the best thing in his life. But then again he is probably happy.

What inspection? They do smog checks here, not inspections. Don't even need to put mud flaps on your dually.

What Tobra said. As long as your engine compartment looks stock and the car passes smog, that's all that matters. No lights, no mirrors, no tread on the tires? No matter.
