If you love saving money, DIY is your best friend. It’s not just cheap; it’s also a creative solution that has become a global phenomenon. Today, it is so popular that you just type out your issue and 100 videos might pop up with a DIY solution. 

But nobody can do it like the Slavs. In fact, “Slavic engineering” is so unique that it sometimes borders on unhinged territory. It’s probably because they use the most wrong things to solve the most random problems. Anyway, we have compiled the weirdest ones below, and they might send you into fits of giggles. Scroll down to see what I mean.

    The British made something similar called the Reliant Robin (the single wheel was in the front) It got around laws for legal driving age? Was it a hunk of junk, yes. Was it safe? No, not at all.
