yes he would. That car is further proof that duct tape is the greatest invention ever. If I had enough duct tape I could fix the Death star. It would be invincible, becasue everyone knows duct tape is impossible to destroy.

hehe yep thats my car allright and yes the horns are all fun noodle except the teeth in the front those are broken window screen frames. the car was donated to st. marrys food bank and was turned to "scrap" but I wonder if they were actually able to tear it appart with that much duct tape on it. However when it was eventually towed away the tow truck operator told me that it was the second strangest car he had ever had to tow. i was too frightened to ask what the strangest one was. oh and one last thing the car took a total of 6hrs and 7 rolls of duct tape not counting the repairs it would need every now and then from the heat melting the tape.

Duct tape is not impossible to destroy. If it is rubbed too much, for example, it becomes frayed and comes apart, with the threads forming sticky clumps around the hole.

Oh , it is. It isnt so much the head, as the metal from the car absorbing the heat. Our sidwalks and car bodies can easily reach >150 degrees in the summer

That's a cool car. Did you guys drive it there or was it towed?

They came and picked up the car... however, it was driven in that state daily for a month or so

(edit) It was admitedly very compact, clay-like soil, but for fuck's sake, people, it was the dirt in my yard that burnsss us!
