Hilarious Photos That Make Us Wonder What’s Really Happening

7. At Least They Tried to Make It Look Legit

This might just be the most inventive attempt at a car repair we’ve ever seen. While using red duct tape for a broken taillight is common, this driver decided to go a step further by attaching a red plastic bottle instead. Technically, it covers the light, but it’s doubtful it will actually illuminate when the brakes are pressed. In fact, it’s more likely to leave other drivers confused. The creativity behind this fix is impressive, but it’s definitely not safe. Using a red bottle as a taillight cover shows a certain resourcefulness, but it’s far from legal or practical. You can almost hear the owner’s reasoning: “It’s red, it’s transparent, it fits—problem solved!” Sometimes, people go to great lengths to stay within the rules, even if the result is more laughable than effective. This is a classic example of good intentions leading to questionable solutions—and a reminder that some repairs are best left to the professionals.
