You've heard of "People of Walmart"? Here's what they drive.
There's more. I'll add a few later.

Thank you. I needed that this morning. The string-actuated wiper blade is probably my favorite.
Reminds me of thereifixedit.com or whatever the url is

This had me laughing this morning from that site:

Sweet. Love the garden hose tire. Wonder if the wheel on that Golf is on a free wheeling caster? Put the other side on a caster and you've got the ultimate drifter....

The local Walmart used to(might still do?) host a car show in their lot each summer. I went once, nothing nearly as nice as those posted above though.

My rant against annual inspections may need some re-thinking

the caster is pretty scary. I am surprised at the car with a bottle for a headlight. I would have expected a flashlight

Huh. I'm not going to admit just how many of those things I've actually done. You guys might laugh at me.
Which considering the nature of this board, is kinda weird.

I "fixed" my refrigerator shelf with an old license plate. I have also used improvised mirrors on my F-100 to get it home.

I thought the license plate fix up there was kinda artistic, really. Would have worked better on an old pickup, mind you, but the thought is still there.

New a fellow that had a Fiat 1100 that did the wiper thing. I think he used something stiffer so it worked both ways. or something. Hey it was a Fiat.

I promised a few more.

That Nissan truck: that's how I jack up my big utility trailer so I can swap tires, only I use a long 2x4 and prop the end on the taillight bracket. Guess that makes me a Wal Martian.

That Subaru Outback is kind of cool. If he (sorry, you just know this is a dude) had cut the log to fit a little better it would be a great bit of Redneck Chic.
However, I'm at an utter loss to even guess what this is for. Heater temperature? The craziest on-the-fly adjustable FPR ever? Anyone?

Absolutely, that's the heater temp. control. Better than an MG Midget which uses a "hydrant" bolted to the top of the head. LOL

Hey Jimbo, why you hauling this garden house around?
In case I get a flat.
Oh. (...?)

I think that might be a manual water pump...

OMG!!! some of these "fixes" (like the A/C with the requisite generator) look like WAAAAY more trouble than they are worth.
