40 Times People Had Such Wild Solutions To Problems, They Ended Up On The “Anything Gone Wrong” Page
If you’ve ever owned a vehicle, you’ll know it doesn’t come cheap. The average cost of a new car in the U.S. is around $50,000. While a used one could set you back around $25,000. And it doesn’t end there. You’ll still need to factor in licensing, insurance, maintenance and fuel. One study found that Americans spend an average of $6,684 per year in hidden vehicle-related expenses. And that’s on top of their monthly lease or loan payments.
If you’re forking thousands, you can only hope that nothing goes wrong. And if it does, you’ll probably want to make sure that you’ve picked the right person to service and fix your vehicle. To drive the message home, Bored Panda has found some perfect examples of what can happen if you cut corners to save money. Keep scrolling for the most unhinged solutions to automotive problems, sourced from the Facebook page “Anything Gone Wrong”.

It works. One time I did a temporary fix like this with locking pliers.

I will quote from the movie City of Ember (2008). Elderly plumber talking to teen apprentice plumber: “We've been patchin' so long, we have more patches than pipe.”

"Why on Gods green earth would someone do this"
Elladine DesIsles 1 year ago
My kid would totally do this. He's obsessed with emergency vehicles and anything related to sirens and lighting. I'm currently trying to learn to wire a vintage tow truck light bar that we bought so it can be mounted on his wall. He also has a vintage siren box, but let's just say I'm a lot less motivated to get that working! He's 13, though. Hopefully he'll have a bit more sense than the driver above by the time he's old enough to actually drive.
