bumper

Who knew Woody Wagons got 40 MPG?

But not essential enough for VW to install on their own. Essential only for looking like a total badass.

If that truck had a version of those "How's my Driving?" stickers, except it said "How's my Kludging?" I'd call the number.

From the submitter:

On the first day of a 3-day trip, I rear-ended this rental car into another car. Instead of trying to find a replacement rental on the 4th of July weekend, I (with the help of the local police!) "fixed" the bumper that was hanging off the car. I then drove it another 400 miles before returning it to the rental place on the 3rd day. I had to stop every once in a while to tighten the wires. It was nerve wrecking!

I was going to make a joke about the ADA card on the rear view mirror and how it explains the bumper, but something tells me that wooden't go over too well...

Then use grit, spit, and duct tape! Free, free, and, like, five bucks at the drug store.
