We can’t really say we’ve been here exactly, because we haven’t, but we do understand the busted-ass-car-have-no-money syndrome. It’s a crippling disease that strikes us all at one time or another. In this example we have what used to be a nice car, now ravaged with duct tape and a few flashlights.
With a little bailing wire and a few pieces of gum, this aftermarket install would be a perfect candidate for Mad Mike to do some of that electronic pimping he’s famous for. It’s a horrible waste of a good Mag-Lite too.

Several other good things on There, I fixed It, but I especially liked the “turn-signal” comment for the MacGyver Headlight.
I have to admit I’ve done this too. When I got pulled over the cop applauded my ingenuity and asked me how well it really worked. Got me out of the ticket which was my goal anyway. Never underestimate making a cop laugh to get out of a ticket.
That poor Mag-Lite.
How long before some jerk steals the flashlights?
