Default Some Funnies for the Gear Heads

Found these on the Shady Lane F/B in Quartzsite, AZ. Drove through on the way to Phoenix, interesting place in the middle of nowhere. People there are good at garage engineering simple solutions.

Enjoy.

Yup ... someone in Quartzsite sure is creative.

Put it on your bucket list if you ever drive down I10 between LA & Phoenix.

The flipped air filter lid, man does that take me back, WOOSH!

The one with the mangled lug nuts, YIKES!

I'd sure like to know how the monster RV gets that Catamaran down?

There's a lot of vehicle hack repair vids on YT, like these ones.

I can watch these for hours.

Seen the locking wrench on the steering wheel nut a few times on taxis in south africa. They never rigged it up quite so stylish though.
