There’s a significant difference between those who sneer at such fixes as demeaning, vs those who applaud making do with what’s available.
If it works, it works.
wish I had taken a picture of it...In Wasilla, we pulled into a parking space next to a blue Subaru that had a big galvanized strap hinge bolted on the door. And red tape over one of the tail lights.
Nice examples of human ingenuity on a budget.
To be fair I can see the projector beams behind those plastic bottles. Maybe the outer lenses were stolen, possibly broken somehow and they’re waiting to get the car repaired but still need to drive it. The bottoms are cut out of the plastic bottles. It appears to be a fairly new VW SUV, not exactly a poor person’s car.
The others are just people who can’t afford a proper repair. Back in the day they’d have used baling wire and duct tape, literally, which is where the saying came from, “held together with baling wire and duct tape” because it was.
I don’t have the pictures, but I effected a repair of an outdoor umbrella-style clothes line (bent arm) with a combination of skinny PVC and cable ties. It worked great!
The girl on the escalator appears to be naked. Or wearing a very short skirt.
Lol

Never dawned on the DM author that the hair brush might just have a mirror on it's back side.
well that’s a wasted piece of paper for the clock when they could have written the numbers right on the wall!
I've never put any bailing wire or duck tap on Dodges...
But then again, I've never owned one.
Just drained some carbon pellets out of an import-car EVAP tube though.
Now, to run better portion of a can of poor-man's Seafoam (B-12 Chemtool fuel treatment) with a tank FULL of fuel (add treatment, then fuel -- but never ever "top-off" post-1990 or so cars that have vapor canisters) we'll see if that stops the check engine light and EVAP 'code' from coming back.
It might even make it easier to fuel up. Slow-- won't take gasoline at the pump? Something to do with vapor recovery canister and/or associated valve plus hoses is the likely culprit. If it's the canister and not valve and/or hoses (canister is likely to have bad charcoal) and I can pry the thing open without ruining it--- hello PetsMart, or maybe better yet, Amazon.com aquarium charcoal for replacement.
The “Heeeeere’s Johnny” door repair was hilarious!
